Question:

I see in a response for the Vesper that it is 95PSI? and the Dexstar there is a response that comments on 110PSI. Is the Vesper not as good as the Dexstar or are they both 110PSI.. thanks

The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # TA65VR and the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # AM20761B you referenced do not have individual PSI's because they do not have a tire or valve stem installed. The tire you would add to these wheels and the valve stem would determine the PSI. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E item # AM10248 would be a good option. This tire has a PSI of 90.
