Wheel pressure rating

How do I determine the pressure rating on the wheels of my TT?
  • I had the same experience as WayneAt63044. I went to next load range tire and just changed to steel valve stems. I only needed 5PSI more to take advantage of the higher load range tires.
  • Check with the manufacturer, if you can determine that. I contacted mine when upgrading from load range C to D (50 to 65 psi). Their limit was based on the valve stem so I changed from rubber to steel valve stems rated for the higher pressure.

    My 11 year old wheels only list a weight limit.
    Find the weight limit on a tire inflation chart and there will be your pressure limit.

    OP, post the wheel size and any rating along with the exact tire size and max psi.

  • Many wheels I have looked at recently do not state a pressure limit, only a load ( in pounds ) limit.
  • Look for a stamped # on the back side of the wheel/rim.

    If not there, you might have to remove the tire and look inside the rim.
    (dumb, I know, but that's where they sometimes put it.)
