Question:
I bought this tire and wheel combo AM32734 for my 4700lb GVWR single axle camper trailer. Should I inflate to the max of 95psi for my weight? Should I upgrade the valve stems? They appear to be part number AM20904 that are only rated for 80 psi. Thanks!

You will want to inflate the tires to the max psi that the tires have. Trailer tires always need to be inflated to their max pressure to ensure you get their full capacity whereas the max psi rating for a wheel is just how much in total it can handle.
The limiting factor for a wheel is typically the valve stem so you would need to determine it's capacity.
If you need higher rated stems we have the part # AM20906 which is good for over 100 psi.
The part # AM32734 does come with the correct valve stem though for the psi. |
Good news unless the stems really are like the one in the photo with rubber. I like etrailer but what others feel comfortable with is at times just a little less than I prefer.
