Hey guy's, my trailer is in need of tire inflation, however, my tires don't say how many lbs to put in. The only wording involving tire lbs is the load at 65lbs. Any input on where to find this info would be great. I have a set of loadstar 4.85-12's. Maybe I should just buy a new set.

That shows that the maximum load is reached at 65 PSI cold. You can set the pressure to 65 PSI, just do not exceed that.

so with my boat on the trailer, etc, the tire pressure should be reading 65lbs?

Yes, with the boat on or off the trailer. Doesn't make a differance. Just make sure the tires are cold. When checking tires that have warmed up when trailering on the highway I allow for at least 5lbs lower pressure.
