Hey guys, no quitter, but thread has gone sideways. I've been busy wearing my Domestic Engineers hat this afternoon! Yup, man of many talents!
As much as I'd like to have a knowledgeable source say it's okay, a 2600 lb rated wheel can easily handle the 80 psi of an E-rated tire, it likely won't happen. I suspect a company in the tire/wheel business will give a CYA statement, if at all.
I did learn that some others are using more psi than their wheel may be rated for, with no issue.
I absolutely agree with Ron, and most others, that the tire inflation charts are useful, especially pertaining to HD truck inflation pressure. My truck tires are well below what it says on the door panel.
I always considered BurbMan to be a standup guy, must have hit a nerve, or maybe offended his buddy?? They will recover!
All have a great evening!
