Why Dont Trailer Wheels Normally have PSI Rating Listed
Published 08/11/2017
Question:
On all the trailer wheels you have for sale, none of them state the PSI rating for the wheel. The max load rating in pounds is shown, but not PSI rating. I just want to make sure the wheel I buy is rated a higher PSI than the tire I am going to put on the wheel. Would like to see the PSI rating in the spec section for all the wheels.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The reason for that is because in most cases the psi limit is the valve stem of the wheel and not the actual wheel. The wheel will have a higher psi rating than the tire and the valve stem so it's usually not listed.
