Expert Reply:
All of the 205/75-15 load range C trailer tires we carry are rated for 1,820 pounds at 50 psi. But that doesn't mean that someone doesn't make one that is rated higher. Customers have asked us about this tire before and all have mentioned the 65 psi rating.
So the people where you bought the tire are correct. Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. This is because trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall compared to passenger vehicle tires. If under inflated the thicker sidewall will generate excessive heat and lead to tire failure.
