Paradigm One : An RV wheel made of steel is stronger than the ST tire made of rubber and cords that is mounted on it .
If you take a steel RV wheel mounted with an ST tire and start inflating it to infinity which blows up first ? The tire blows first .

Wrong answer on wheels vs tire as a E tires 80 psi can and has split the lower 50 psi wheels bead set flange.
Same with 15" or 16" wheels. Mount a LT235/85-16 load range G 110 psi tire on a 16" wheel with a 80 psi rating and pump it up to 110 psi at some point down the road a split rim can happen.
When a poster says his 14" or 15" has a 50 psi max rating on his wheels and wants to upgrade to a D or E tire he will have to purchase the correct pressure wheel just like the industry experts tell us.
Why do you think tire and wheel mfg tell us to not exceed the tire or wheel pressure rating. Many offshore wheels don't have a pressure rating. So what. That sure doesn't mean you can mount any tire on the wheel and pump it up above its capabilities.
Lets be safe out there.
