After sitting in driveway for a year, one D rated tire blew. The replacement was E rated; however, the installer said to inflate the tire to the 80 psi on the sidewall of the new E, not the sticker which is 65 psi. So now I am confused.
On a trailer, go with the sidewall rating. Low air pressure causes excess sidewall flexing which causes heat which will cause a tire failure.
In your case, the additional 15 psi is not likely to cause any wheel issues. If it was an addition >30 psi, I might be concerned about the strength of the wheel itself.
