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.

Thanks for the correction on the rubber stems!
