Helpful Expert Reply:

According to the manufacturer, the wheel itself doesn't necessarily have a maximum pressure rating. You'll be limited by the rating of the valve stem you use. The wheel has a .453 diameter valve stem hole, which means the highest pressure stem you could use is # AM20904 which is good for up to 80 psi. So it's not necessarily the style of the stem but its rating that dictates the max pressure.

Answer 1

Since most valve stems are rubber they will start to dry rot and should typically be replaced at the same time you replace your tires. When looking for new valve stems you'll want to ensure that they're rated for the PSI of your tires…

I spoke to my contact at HWT and they informed me that the PSI rating for their wheels like the part #AM20455 is limited by the valve stem and tire that is used in the wheel.

There seems to be a mix up somewhere. Trailer tire #AM10501 that you have referenced is size 235/85-16, not 235/80. We have 2 tires in size 235/85-16. First, #AM10501, is a load range F and is rated for 3,960 pounds at 95 psi. Then we have…

Answer 8

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 9

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 10

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 11

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 12

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
