The Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA52FR comes with a valve stem that is rated for up to 65 psi. I confirmed this with my contact at Taskmaster.

If you are needing to use a tire with this that requires a higher psi rating then you can swap the valve stem out for part # AM20904 which is a valve stem rated for up to 80 psi or even part # AM20907 which is a valve stem rated for up to 100 psi if you want some extra cushion with the rating.
