The new Goodyear Endurance trailer tires are max load 65 PSI. What would I do, inflate to 50 and call it good. Get new rims rated to 65 on the chance the the tire store won't install max 65 tires on 60 psi rims, or ?
I had the same question on the same size tires because I have been looking at the Goodyear Endurance tires made in the USA. The alloy wheels on our trailer are sold by LionsHead. I contacted them and here was their answer:
Good afternoon,
If you are looking to upgrade to a tire with a higher psi rating, you would need to be sure that the valve stem is also replaced with a valve stem that meets the requirements of the higher psi of the tire upgrade, as long as you do that and do not exceed the load carrying capacity of the unit you should not have a problem.
