Back or inside of rim will have psi stamped, if they are rated for max 65psi it would be best to stay with D rated tire and Maxxis would be your best bet as ST tires go. Got 5 years out of my last set of Maxxis ST tires in your size and our rig is about 10K# loaded for travel. Best to run ST tires at or near max psi, much lower and they will overheat leading to premature failure.
Thought about going to E rated myself but rims would not support 80psi and the D rated Maxxis tires could handle over 10K# anyway. If your rims can handle the 80 psi go for the E rated Maxxis. Not sure about amount of plys but the E rated tire is heavier than D rated which is heavier than C rated and so on. Have a great time in Florida and at Disney!
