Most newer 6 lug 15" trailer wheels today are rated for 80 psi.
Years past they ranged from 50 psi/65-70 psi and 80 psi.
Check your wheels for a max pressure rating. If no psi then go by the load rating which is usually be a 2830 lbs for a load E at 80 psi....or a 2540 psi for a load D at 65 psi.
Depending on actual wheel loads moving from a 15" D to a 15" E can be a good upgrade. That way you can still run the tire at max sidewall pressures for max stability...max long term service....and a cooler running tire.
