Will Trailer Rim With Load Range D Tire on It Handle Load Range E with 80 PSI Rating

Question:

I have a 2015 Jayco Eagle HT27.5 with Sendel 15foot 6 bolt wheels. It came from the factory w/class D tires which are rated for 65 PSI. I am considering a class E tire rated at 80 PSI. Will the wheel be ok under 80 PSI? Thx,

I can almost guarantee the wheel would easily handle the 80 psi. Typically it's not the wheel though that is the limiting factor though. In most cases it's actually the valve stem.

The best Load Range E tire we offer in the size ST225/75-15 is the part # LHWL304 which has the 80 psi rating. What I really like about this tire though is the speed rating of 75 mph and the 2 year roadside assistance program that comes with it.
