Will stock 16 in rims handle 80psi?
I just upgraded to LT rated tires. Does anyone know if the stock rims can handle the 80psi max pressure? They are the steel ones with polished aluminum over them. I don't think I will need that high because I will only be weighimg around 1/2 the rated tire cap. Thanks

at 80psi you will practically bounce off the road. I have LT265 70 17 on my truck and run 32-35 psi.

Look at the label.
Aren't there warning labels on the inside of all wheels that say the max. pressure. I know I have seen it on some. Notice next time you have them pulled.
