Tyre pressure

I have 550/45-22.5 on my 14ton grain trailer, what pressure should these be running at?

depends on what brand and model it is and what speed you drive

The only way to properly answer this is to take it and weigh the axles loaded, then google the pressure chart for your particular tyres.

Usually between 13.5 &14ton plus 4.18ton weight of trailer. So 18ish ton over 2 axles/4tyres?

I would try it at 45psi when fully loaded to start with. If it squirms too much when turning fully loaded, increase the pressure in stages until it looks right. A maximum of 60psi.

Don’t forget you’ll have 3t ish on the drawbar

Trailer only ever really travells 5miles max from yard and very seldom ever doing the 50k on these roads.
