  • We could find no markings on the wheel at all. So I just put the D size tire for the extra thickness and fill to the 65# that they call for with that tire.

    Does it have 1820 or 2150 weight rating? 50 & 65 psi respectively.

    Example of 65 psi wheel 15x5 for 205s

    The seller should have the information. Or it is stamped on the wheel.
  • Some where on your wheels will be a load capacity either on the front or back or in the valley. If its in the valley the tire will have to come off the wheel.
    It can be a sticker or stamped into the wheel.
    If not then give your trailer mfg a 1-800.
  • If you look on the rim opposite the public side you might find the weight rating of the wheel. That's where mine are. They are stamped with weight rating and not pressure rating.
  • PSI rating should be stamped on the inner rim. Weight rating? Where you bought it from should be able to tell you load rating. Generally speaking 80PSI should equate to around 3200 pounds load. Whereas 110PSI rating would be around 4000+ pounds load rating.
