Your trailer wheel should have no problem handling the higher psi rating of your new tires but your valve stem may not so what I would recommend is higher rated valve stems like the Americana Valve Stems part # AM20906 that you referenced which meets this rating as well as fits both popular valve stem hole diameters on wheels of .453 and .625 inch.
