Yes, I have mine at 60 psi (ERDE trailer with same size wheels).

There's a list of recommended tyre pressures on the Towsure website and this was the recommendation there.

Although it say's maximum pressure 60psi it does not mean it has to be 60psi in them, that seems way to high for an 8 inch wheel.
