Avalanche Spare tire

Keystone put on load range G tires on the 2017 Avalanche we purchased but a load range E tire on for the spare. Ours came with the Provider tires.

The trailer was made on 3/1/17 and has the correct sticker on it - indicates the spare is a load range E tire.

Questions:
1. How many have changed out the load range E for a load range G?
2. Can the spare tire wheel handle the higher pressure - 110 psi Vs 80 psi?

I have found a place that sells the Provider tire only for $174.95 - free shipping.

I have found a wheel - matching the existing aluminum wheels for $125.00 - free shipping. They would include a Sailun tire for an additional $205.00. Additional costs - $5.00 for a high pressure metal valve stem and $6.00 to balance the wheel/tire.

It seems that trailer manufacturers are starting to do what automobile manufacturers have been doing for decades. The "car guys" have been using "high pressure mini tires" as a temporary spare for a number of years. It looks like the trailer manufacturers are starting to designate the spare as a temporary, "limp to help only" type of spare. Let's hope they don't continue down that road like the "car guys" and remove the spare completely and replace it with a can of compressed air..... Wouldn't be much help with the way trailer tires tend to "explode" instead of leak.....

As for the wheel rating to 110 PSI, I wouldn't bet on it, but it's probably stamped with "max load" and maybe even "max PSI" on the back side of a spoke. If not, you can get the max PSI from the manufacturer if you can find a part number on the wheel. It'll take a phone call/email to their tech support, but that information is available.

How is the spare described on the trailer's certification label/tire placard?

The OP indicated that the placard on his trailer reflects the spare as LRE, so Keystone has corrected their "recall condition" which was to replace the placards which incorrectly listed the spare as LRG inflated to 110 PSI when the actual equipment was LRE at 80 PSI. It appears his trailer is not subject to the recall conditions.
