Should I be filling them up to 50 psi (or based on EZM's post, fill to 40 psi on a cold tire)? I've been getting some terrible wear on my tires without a significant amount of miles on them. They are bias ply tires if that makes any difference. I'm thinking of switching to radials.

It would make perfect sense and your trailer would ride better. Is the centre section of the tread worn down but the outside edges good?
Terrible wear with low miles is likely not caused by tire pressure though.
