Max PSI rating on Trailer Wheels?
My trailer's Alloy wheels are 15 x 6, 5-lug. The load rating stamped on them is 2150 lbs. It came with 225-75-15, load range C tires, which run 50 psi. These tires are are marginal IMO for the trail...

Even though My C rated China Bombs ha over 18,000 mile on them, plus what ever the previous owner put on them. I replaced them because they were seven years old.
The price deference between C and D rated tires was $20.00 a tire. The new tires are rated C at 55 lbs. and D at 65 lbs. My steel rims were good to go at 65 psi.
However at 65 psi, judging by the movement inside the TT, the new tires are a lot stiffer and ride harder which is no big surprise. I realize this is a very subjective opinion.
Since the tires carry a dual C and D rating depending of the amount of air pressure, on a cold morning or whenever the tire pressure drops a few lbs. The drop is less of a concern. They have performed well over the last 9,000 miles.
If you are the type that frets over your tire pressure, I would recommend TPM to keep continual track of your tire pressure.
Speaking from experience, no matter what your tire rating, a rim bending, spring braking, axle bending road hazard will shred a tire before you can stop.
