Dexstar wheel conflicting info

I need to replaced the tires on my TT and I have been looking at the Goodyear Endurance tires but they are only available in load range D.

The only readable label on my wheels is the spare and it shows it to be a Dexstar 17-143 (steel, 8 spoke rim) with a 1820 lb capacity which should have a max PSI of 50 which will not work with load range D tire pressure.

When I looked at Dexstar's site, it shows my model wheel is rated at 2150 lbs/80 PSI. I don't know if I should trust the decal or the website. I e-mailed Dexstar 2 weeks ago and never got an answer and their customer service rep is on vacation. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll just have to go with a load range C Carlisle's and give up on the Goodyear's.

  • Your rims are likely rated for at least the 80 PSI you found on the web site. Many rims are stamped either on the back side or inside the rim. Assuming your spare rim is the same as the rest, take it down to a tire shop and have the break the bead and look inside. You could also find a phone number for Dexstar and give them a call with the model number of the wheel.
