What Is The Max PSI of a 15 Inch Wheel With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern?
Question:
Can you tell me the maximum psi for this rim? Thanks
asked by: William E
Expert Reply:
The maximum psi rating for a wheel (or rim) is based on the valve stem and the tire rather than the wheel itself. The wheel will have a load capacity but is not restricted by the psi. So, you can choose a wheel with the bolt pattern you desire and then choose a tire and valve stem compatible with the tire load rating at whatever psi. The load capacity at that psi is the max psi of the tire as it is always supposed to be run at its max psi when inflated prior to a trip (cold).
For the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Black Powder Coat # AM20514, you would need to match a tire like the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TR20515D and then a valve stem for its 65 psi max like # AM20903.
Our combinations like the # AM32545 , come with the compatible valve stems for proper function with the tire. This tire has a max psi of 65 and comes with the valve stem compatible with that max psi.
