Question:
What is the pressure rating for rim. Have lost two rims with cracks resulting with loosing tire pressure operating @3200# 80psi. Is this normal. Had one failure and purchased two new ones from you but I now have a second failure loosing rim and new ST235/85R Goodyear Endurance. Lost several tires till I switched to Goodyear Endurance but now cracking rims.

The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel part # 274-000038 does not have a psi rating as is the case for any wheel. The psi rating comes from the valve stem which for this setup would be 100 psi plus. If you are looking to upgrade the psi you can use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 exceeding psi is not really what would cause the wheel to crack. This would likely be from overloading or manufacturing defects. If you want to switch to a more durable steel wheel, I recommend the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TA97VR.
I will also say that a worn out suspension could cause more stress on the wheels leading to cracks.
