Can Trailer Rim LHSJ211G Handle 80 PSI

Question:

I have these wheels on my Winnebago Minnie travel trailer. Im considering upgrading my trailer tires to the Goodyear Endurance tires. They have a maximum air pressure of 80 psi. Can these wheels support that much air pressure. The tires I currently have on there are 50 psi.

Yes, the Lionshead Trailer Wheel part # LHSJ211G that you referenced can easily handle 80 psi. With wheel setups it's the valve stem that will be the limiting factor for PSI, but trailer wheels easily can handle 80 psi.

When you go to have the tires mounted you basically will want to make sure the valve stem that gets installed in the rim can handle the 80 psi since they are typically replaced at tire changes.
