You might touch base with them to see if they'll admit to supplying the wheels to Keystone....

That said, a set of 17 or 18 year old wheels, made in China and marked with max load of 3042 and originally equipped with tires rated for 3640@80PSI is not the wheel quality that I'd want to put under a trailer sporting tires that are rated for 4409@110 PSI.

While you may never have a problem, just squatting in front of those tires with an air chuck in my hand, I'd sure question those wheel rims holding that kind of pressure with my body in front of what might come "unglued or maybe not"....


That is an excellent point. When I was young I never even thought about the wheel/tire pressure correlation, just air it up big or little and go with it.

Fast forward to when I was in my 30s and a fella down at my local tire store got killed by an exploding tire. Don't remember now the exact details but it sure made me think about how those things work together and what can happen if you don't pay attention - a new found kind of respect if you will.
