Helpful Expert Reply:

The HWT Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel # AM22651 while having a maximum weight capacity of 2,150lbs, does not have a maximum pressure rating. The tire pressure rating is going to be supplied by the tire manufacturer. The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire Range C # AM10251 which fits the wheel you found has the same 2,150lb weight capacity. The manufacturer calls for a tire pressure of 50psi for this particular tire.

You always want to use the tire manufacturers pressure rating no mater if the capacity on the tire is higher like you get on the Load Range D # AM10256. This tire requires 65psi of pressure and can support up to 2,540lbs per tire. Since the wheel has a lighter capacity at 2,150lbs you still cannot exceed this capacity even with the higher capacity tire.
