that inflation pressure hardly matters when it comes to wheel failures.
I have a lot of respect for Barry's opinions on tires as he is a expert on that subject but sure missed the mark on exceeding wheel pressures. The subject is about load carrying wheels not lightweight loads for light weight vehicles.
Every tire makers web I've looked at warns to not exceed a tire or wheel pressure rating. Same with wheel makers websites.
As a lay person using wheel and tire to make a living, I've seen first hand the folly of exceeding a trucks wheel load OR pressure ratings.
I sure wouldn't advise anyone its ok to pump a 3500 lb rated wheel to 110 psi which is what the subject is about. Follow your wheel makers recommendations.
