Probably but the safe answer is to weigh it fully loaded and look up the mfrs recommendation for that weight then add 5 PSI.


EXACTLY!!!


That's not the question the question is, is it safe to put in 80psi in a tire rated for max 95 psi. Consider the load rating for 80 psi is ok. The rim I have is only rated for 80psi and the tire mount ed is rated for 95. Tire tech says I'm fine.
