As good as eTrailer is they can't seem to get straight on upgrading tires. If your ALLOY wheels are 6 lug I don't think they are rated for a tire over 80psi. eTrailer was referring to steel wheels in that link. I tried every which way to go to higher pressure tires when I had a HC with 6 lug wheels. I called the wheel manufacturer, Tredit I think, and talked to an engineer. She said the wheels would crack around the center.
Take the wheel off and look on the backside. You might have to do some interpreting to get the rating. It may say like: 8H3800 or 6H3240. 8H being a 8 hole wheel and a 3800 pound WEIGHT rating. (I'm pulling numbers out of the air) So you will need to see what load rating tire is 3800 pound weight rating. Or, it could just say 80psi or 110 psi etc.
