Unlike car/truck tires, it is best to keep trailer tires at the max.

See this thread and the links in it.

My travel trailer has tires that call for 50 lbs. max.

And that's what I have run in them since day 1. Works great so far.

Load Rating C is 50 pounds. Load Rating D is 65 pounds. Max out your trailer tire pressure to avoid sidewall flex which can cause sway or eventual overheating of the tire due to flex; and then you get a blowout.
