Some wheels used on rvs come with PSI/load capacity on a placard/stamped/etc and some don't.
Older 14"/15" wheels can have 50/60/65/75/80 psi ratings vs newer wheels the last 2-3 years may come with a 65 or 80 psi rating.
Same with the older 16" wheels with 80/90/100/110/120 psi ratings. Most may come in 80 or 110 psi ratings now.
Always check with the wheel mfg before up sizing load ranges from OEM. The wheel may or may not withstand higher pressures.
And yes wheels can crack/split because a newby operator over pressures them.
