Will Trailer Rim be Able to Handle Tire Pressure Rating for the Karrier ST235/85R16 Tire AM10501

Question:

Hi, I am interested in your F rated trailer tires, I currently have E rated tires on my fifth wheel, my question is will my rims handle the extra air press required from 80 to 95 psi ? I believe I am right on the edge with the E rated tires, Thanks in advance,

The tire pressure a wheel can handle is typically determined by the valve stem that is used in the wheel. The Kenda Tire part # AM10501 would work well on your 16 inch rim as long as when you go to have it mounted you tell the tire shop to be sure to use a valve stem rated for at least 95 psi.
