I changed the valve stems to high pressure ones. Has any one actually seen or had a wheel blow apart from 100 psi in it? Pulled it a couple of years no problem so far.
The wheels are required to be stamped with either a PSI or weight rating on them. If you can't find that on the inner surface, you'll likely have to break down a tire and look for it in the valley. My wheels are clearly stamped "Max 80 psi" on the inner bead area.
