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.

Your forgetting about the 1000 lbs for the trailer itself. So you are actually at 2,500 lbs which is close to capacity already. A lot of people also for get to take in all those very heavy batteries. Not mention the heavy electric bow mount. Which could put you at max.
