Just to clear up the valve stem issue.
Rubber Stems are rated to 45 psi
There are High Pressure Rubber Stems that will go to 110 psi
And there are Metal Stems that all require some sort of rubber washer to seal to the wheel that are also regarded as high pressure.
And while I’m at it, you can put a 14 ply tire on a wheel rated at 80 psi and inflate it to 100 psi without fearing wheel failure.
If any one with more than 50 years in the tire business wants to contradict this, I will gladly listen, but in the real world we mounted hundreds of 14 ply on trailer wheels at 100 psi without a wheel failure.
That’s just the way it is.
I’m not the brightest bulb on the forum, but I do know tires.
