On Edit - I meant to answer the question asked -- The Aluminum rims I got from Montana are 80 PSI max....

Now then, Was reading on another forum (SOB) about an owner who had upgraded his rims to 17.5 and tires to Continental HTRs. At 125 psi he can carry 6000 pounds per tire!! Now, perhaps that is a degree of overkill but given the weights of some of our rigs, and the roads we travel on, that may not be all that much over kill.....

Rims were about 225 each, don't know what the tires cost him as the trailer manufacturer covered their cost -- Missions failed (actually I think his post called them 'Hi-Runs' or something like that....

Just some food / fodder for us to think about.....
