Question:

Are the wheels and tires of the second item below compatible with the stem identified by the first item? AM20906 A225R645WM Specifically: What is the stem hole diameter in the wheel and is it one of two the stem is said to fit? The stem info says it is for pressures of a minimum of 100 PSI and up Does that mean it will not function at the 65 PSI of the tires? Thank you,

Expert Reply:

The Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906 is compatible with the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel # A225R645WM that you referenced. It fits standard wheel sizes you just need to make sure that when you install it you have if flush against the wheel so that it doesn't leak.

The "Over 100 psi" rating for the valve stem will be okay to use even though the tire is only filled to 65 psi. It is designed for heavier duty applications, but since it can handle a higher rating than 65 psi it will work without a problem.

A valve stem that is rated for a higher psi than the wheel is compatible. The only time a valve stem wouldn't be compatible is if you were wanting to install a valve stem a 65 psi rating like part # AM20903 on a tire/wheel that needs to be filled over 65 psi.
