Rim marking

I can't find the tire pressure marking on the inside of the rim.I have aluminum 8 lug rims.I saw the weight marking(max load 3042)on my 2005 Rik.I'm going to get tires soon and I want to get the G Goodyear after reading about them on this forum and I know I have to have rims that will allow 110 lbs of pressure and steel valve stems

I believe your rims are rated only for 80 PSI. You can confirm this by calling Keystone CS.

Tredit can also tell you what your rims are rated for. I doubt if you can put the pressure in the G-rated tires that you want with those rims. Tredit told me I couldn't but my rims were 6-lug, not 8-lug. I'd check it out before going to the expense of the G-rated tires.

I'm not sure when, but by law I belive there has to be a psi marking somewhere on the rim. If not on the inside, it may be stamped on the backside of the rim. I'm also thinking that for 2005 they were still 80 psi. As stated, Tredit can tell you what they are rated for. Keystone should be able to also.

Good luck.

Gary, are they steel or aluminum rims? Our steel spare has the numbers stamped into the metal. Our aluminum rims have a sticker. I'm not sure whether the sticker covers an earlier stamped number. Someone reported Keystone told them some aluminum rims were recertified for 110 psi and 3750 lbs. So maybe that's the reason for the sticker. Here's what ours shows.

Gary, IF your wheels are marked "TR6" on the inside of the rim, they are most likely OK for 110 psi, However, you should give Tredit Wheel Co in Elkhart IN a call to verify. I'm not sure I would call Keystone as they are not the maker of these wheels. I try and go directly to the source on things of this nature. At some point these wheels were recertified for the higher pressure by Tredit. I have an '06 and they recertified mine and gave me stickers, as Steve R showed above. I am running the G614's with those wheels and so far no problems.

At the Fall Rally, Tredit checked my 8 lug aluminum rims and "re-certified" them for 110 lbs. I have new stickers and a letter indicating the re-certification. I agree with Phil, contact Tredit.

I've got a 2008 Big Sky with 8 lug aluminum rims too. On mine I had to crawl under the trailer to get a look at the back side of the casting. Mine are 110 lbs and it looks like raised numbers (more like part of the casting than stamped).

Strangely, my spare is steel and is marked only with 3750# max weight (stamped), no pressure rating. I would guess that implies 110# pressure because the G rated Goodyear is 110# pressure to rate a 3750# load.
