Question:

How can I tell if my 16x6 aluminum wheels are rated to be matched with a tire max pressure of 110 psi? I am currently running tires that are load range E 80 psi max and want to upgrade to load range F or G, but they all require tire pressure of 110 psi. Not sure my current wheels will handle the higher psi. Thanks

Expert Reply:

To use tires rated for 110 psi on your current wheels you just need to make sure they have a metal valve stem like part # AM20906. The highest rated rubber valve stem available is only rated for 100 psi which we carry as part # AM20907. Anything over 100 psi needs to have a metal valve stem.
