This is why it matters to me. The camper I just bought needs tires, the sidewalls are cracking. I knew this up front.
Turns out maybe that was a blessing. I wouldn't have checked probably otherwise, but the current tires are rated at 1820 lbs @ 50 psi. The gvwr of my camper is around 7500 lbs, and is about 5700 dry as it sits. Doesn't take too much fancy math to figure out that the tires are overloaded if I ever have the camper maxed out.
So the tires I'm eyeballing are rated at 2149 lbs @ 65 psi. I guess that's what you're trying to say, fill it to 65, and not 50. Not sure, but unless otherwise informed I'd be running the new tires at 65 psi.

If your tires are LR-D run 65 psi cold and monitor with TPMS. Do not lower the pressure when tires are hot (been in direct Sun or run in last 2 hours)
Confirm with scale reading that actual tire load is not greater than 85% of load on tire sidewall (lowd below 80% would be better)
