What Is The Max PSI Rating For The Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel LH98VR

Question

Question:

Hello! Is there a pressure rating for this wheel? I have seen it on E rated tires at 80psi but was considering it for a higher rated tire which would be more like 110psi cold temp fill. Obviously I cannot exceed the 3300lb weight rating but wanted to confirm it cold hold the higher pressure. Thanks!

Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. The Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH98VR itself does not have a specific PSI rating. It can handle the PSI of any 16" Tire. The PSI rating is determined by the valve stem. The # LH98VR wheel comes with a high-pressure rubber valve stem similar to part # AM20904 which is rated for up to 80 PSI. If you need to go higher than that, you will need to swap them out for a metal valve stem like the Americana Metal Valve Stem # AM20906. These are rated for over 200 PSI so they will work with your 110 PSI tires.

Hey Kevin, did the metal valve stems work well with your 110 PSI tires on the Aluminum Liger wheel? Knowing how that setup performed could help others looking to run higher-pressure tires too.

@JesseM Sure did! Due to the weight of my set up, I am running my Sailun S637 ST235/80R16 's at 95 PSI cold, and they come up to ~110 or so during normal highway driving. Very happy with the tire upgrade, thanks for the follow up!

@Kevin Awesome thanks for the detailed follow-up, Kevin. It’s great to hear the metal valve stems are holding up well with your Sailun S637s at those pressures, especially under real-world highway conditions. That kind of firsthand feedback is super helpful for other customers running higher-pressure setups. Thanks again, and safe travels!

You can absolutely use a different brand of bearing, like the 25580 Timken Replacement Trailer Wheel Bearing #TMK44FR, for your trailer. Just make sure the bearing numbers match and you're good to go!

Mark, the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 can be used to replace your #TREQ310 and is cushioned like you are wanting. The 25-1/4 inch leaf spring size is very common but you didn't mention what axle capacity you have so if you needed a 5k spring…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
