Unable to find out rating on my aluminum rims, 235/80/16. Putting on G rated tires that require 110 lbs air! There must be a code, because there's no numbers! Thanks

If you are replacing "E" tires the "G" tires do NOT REQUIRE 110psi. Use the weight inflation chart and add 5psi to what the chart says based on weight on tires. This is per GY Tech support.

I went from "E" to "G" tires and I ran the G's at 85 psi for thousands of miles with perfectly even tread wear and they ran cool.

MAX psi is NOT always required psi!!!

Often times the load info is stamped =inside= the rim, usually in the "valley". Means you have to break down a tire to find it.

Mine were stamped on the inside "valley" as well - but a call to the Grand Design support folks who had my VIN and all the info on the components was easier. Your manufacturer may be able to do the same for you before you pay for the tires and/or pull a tire off a rim to check.

My I ask why G rated tires on a 5th that has a GVW of 13995?

Safety margin and peace of mind - and two of the original Es had been trashed and the set needed to be replaced, anyway. Was only a few dollars more to put the Sailuns on than to get hold of the original WestLake "Super ST" load range Es.

Thanks for all the replys! I'm spending the big bucks on sailum , cause I have PSD going down the road. The cheap Japanese tires are scattered all over I95 I77 and I79, I've had enough! I know sailum are Chinese, but what a solid sidewall. I hope my rims will take it!

Those "G" rated tires only require 110psi for max load.
