Rim max PSI
Am in the process of replacing the tires on the trailer. Current tires (and the ones which came with trailer) are load range C and maximum psi is 50. Have been looking at the new Goodyear Endurance...

Unlike tires, wheels don't care if the inflation pressure is cold or hot. It only experiences pressure.
And just to add to the confusion: The federal regulations do NOT require max pressure to be delineated on wheels (unlike tires!). There is a reason for that.
I've contacted as many wheel manufacturers and wheel engineers as I could find, and not one of them said that pressure matters - that LOAD is what matters and that is regulated by the bolt hole configuration. In other words, the design the wheels based on what the vehicle engineer specifies for the bolt holes.
So the Federal government hasn't regulated this area since everything is working fine.
