Hello Phillip, thanks for reaching out. Trailer rims like the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH48VR do not have a PSI rating. They can handle the PSI of any 16" trailer tire. The actual PSI rating is determined by the valve stem, which for the # LH48VR wheel is a rubber valve stem rated for up to 80 PSI.

If your tires go higher than 80 PSI, replace the rubber valve stems with the metal valve stem part # AM20906 which are rated for over 200 PSI.

Hey Phillip, did you end up switching to the metal valve stems for your Aluminum Eagle trailer wheels? Knowing how that setup handled the higher PSI could help others with the same tires.

@JesseM I did not, I opted to keep a lower psi seeing as I got a heavier rated tire then I needed anyway.

Because the total weight capacity of your trailer is limited by the lowest rated component, your axle capacity won't be increased by adding hubs with more lug nuts to the equation-even if they are rated higher than the axle. Moving to 8-lug hubs…

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…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…
