Hi all! In the process of getting rid of the China bombs on my 5ver. My question is currently I have ST235/80R16 mounted on the original Sendel wheels. I would like to mount GY g614 tires on these rims. Does anyone know if the rims can handle 110psi tire rating. I can't find any other markings on the wheel besides "Sendel" stamped in the rim. Don't want to invest a ton of money on the tires if they are not going to work along with the new stems. The Rig is a 2014 Alpine 3500RE

Look on the back side of the rim and you should see T09 as I have a 2014 Alpine and their is also a stamp of 3750 lb and 110 psi indicating the rim can support the G614's as I have on there. I am posting pics. you may have to save and zoom in but most likely you got the same model. You can verify the specs further on Sendel's website

On the Carbon, the wheel is rated to 110psi. It also came with a metal valve stem. I had to remove the wheel to see the stamped rating.

I run 90 psi in G rated tires.

Also..one other thing..Make sure whomever does the install that they put metal valve stems...95% of all high pressure rubber valve stems are not rated to 110 psi. I had to take mine back to a goodyear dealer and have them swapped out and Goodyear made the original dealer pick up the tab.

Thanks I will keep that in mind. I crawled under the trailer and looked all over the rims and couldn't find any markings. When I bring it home from storage next week I will look again. Taking a trip to Charlotte in October and would like to to get the new tires on before the trip. Thanks for the info!

Had our first blowout on the China bombs this weekend. Looked all over the rim to see what the psi rating is and can't find it anywhere. It does have the 3580lb stamp but no psi. Good luck making a choice. Just as many tire to choose from as there are opinions. We are leaning toward the LT tire and possibly a move up to F or G if space will allow. :banghead:
