Will Inflating The Wheel and Tire Package # LH52FR with 65PSI of the Cause the Wheel To Crack?

Question:

If you inflate the Westlake 235/75/15 tire to the max inflation of 65 lbs which rates the tire for 2910 lbs, won’t that stress the Phoenix wheel rated at 2200 lbs? I don’t want to crack the rim.

As long as you do not load the Westlake ST235/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Phoenix Aluminum Wheel # LH52FR with more than 2,200lbs of weight you will not stress the wheels. The wheel does not have a pressure rating like the tire.
