Expert Reply:
As long as you are under the weight capacity for the wheel/tires as well as stay under the speed rating for them you'll be fine. For example, we have the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H410 which has a weight capacity of 1,320 lbs at 70 psi and a speed rating of 65 mph.
As long as you are under the numbers mentioned you'd be fine.
