Can Karrier ST205/75R14 Trailer Tire Load Range D With 75 PSI Replace 65 PSI Tires

Question:

Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D Item # AM10235 These tires have a 75 psi rating and my current tires are also D rating but 65psi max. Can I replace them with the 75 psi tires? Is there a requirement with the rim for psi ratings?

You can replace your 65 psi tires with the max 75 psi Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10235.

The psi restriction isn't on the tire or wheel, it's actually on the valve stem, so you'll need a valve stem with the right psi rating. For example, the Americana High Pressure Rubber Snap-In Valve Stem # AM20904 is rated for up to 80 psi and fits wheels with a 0.453" valve stem hole diameter.
