De-coding wheel/rim stamp on my 5th wheel
I need help in de-coding my trailer rim/wheel codes. I found this code stamped on the inside of the rim: 8 9 02 1606 K CR C (the last letter looks to not be fully stamped - it could also...

I wasn't disagreeing with you Lyle. Just adding my experience with wheel codes.
I don't think I remember ever seeing PSI stamped on a wheel, but I believe everyone when they say theirs have it. So I have to think far more don't have it, than do. I guess there are too many tire combos for them to put it all on there, but it is my opinion that load is what matters.
But whatever they choose to put on there, find your tire/wheel diameter, and the wheel load rating, and an online chart will give you the PSI that it takes to get there, and you can assume the max PSI for that tire will be safe on that wheel.
At the 2 load ratings I find on my 15" wheel, I can find LRC, LRD, and LRE tires that will fit it. But all that mattered to me was the max PSI for a LRE trailer service tire, and that is my working max.
Put another way, let's say I was interested in a LRG tire. Could I run it? From the info on the tire I cannot say if it would be safe at 110SPI, but I do know that it would not be safe at full LRG load rating. I would not run it for that reason. I don't know if anyone even makes a 15" LRG tire, so just using that as an example.
