Question:
I want to add a 12 Ply tire to this rim. Will this rim handle 95PSI cold? and what about the higher PSI with heat? Thanks,

Hey Darryl, it's good to hear from you again!
The Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH49FR won't be able to handle the psi rating of that tire, but it's because of the included valve stem, not because of the construction of the wheel itself.
A wheel will need a metal valve stem like the Americana # AM20906, but this won't fit on the Liger wheel so you'll either need to find a different one, or we'll need to find a different wheel that comes with the metal stem pre-installed.
I'm not seeing that any of our wheels come with a metal valve stem, and the only ones that are compatible with it are more of the standard style of wheel. Does that work for you?
