Tire Pressure Q

Ok I got towing newbie question, maybe someone on this excellent forum could help. I'm looking for suggestions on where to set the max pressure/temperature warnings on a new TPMS I just got. My TT is a Viking Saga 17 RB, single axle weighing in at 2800 dry, 3200~3500 loaded. The tires are Kenda Loadstars 205/75R14 and the info label on the trailer says 60psi cold (also tire sidewall says 60psi max cold). I figure I'll set my low pressure warning to about 50 or 55 psi, but not sure where to set the high press/temp warning.

Thanks in advance for any help

On my monitor for my coach and toad I notice the pressure increases about 8-12 psi while on the road so I would set it to allow for that at least.

I deal with automotive and light truck TPMS every week. The thresholds are typically set at 25% from the recommended pressure. At 60 psi recommended, that means the warning should come on when pressure drops to 45psi. Very few automotive TPMS have high pressure thresholds, but I'd also use the 25% figure, so it should set off when it hits 75psi.
