One of the set-backs consumers face with todays RV trailers is the abundance of tires with numerous load ranges. Tire/wheel OEM providers will marry them to their individual specifications. An example is found with the LRF 16" wheel/tire assembly. The standard wheel/rim used by OEM providers for a combination of the ST235/85R16 LRF will almost always use a wheel rated for 3960# at 95 PSI. Many consumers will install LRG tires on those rims. Everything is okay as long as the inflation pressures provide 3960# of load capacity. When they decide to use the 110 PSI for the maximum load of a replacement LRG tire they are exceeding the wheel/rim capacities. It can only be described as an UNSAFE procedure.

I see you referenced some wheels ,where is it saying those wheels @ 3960 are only rated for 95 psi.
Wasn't it not long ago ,our Montana wheels were rated for 3750 , and 110 psi, possibly still are ??
