I looked in the Q&A section and found this answer to a similar question.
The PSI rating for the Taskmaster Rim part # TTW660655SM1 that you referenced is 145 psi. I confirmed this with my contact at Taskmaster. I also has a zero offset.

I attached a review video for this rim for you to check out as well.
Thanks for the link!

In the USER CP, there is the edit signature there.

In there you can add a pic. I put my picture on Facebook and then use the link from there.

Go to your user control panel and then go to edit signature and down on the bottom of that page there is a spot there that lets you insert a signature picture.


Question for you Randy? Just curious why you are so worried about changing the rims and tires. I can understand changing tires if they are worn out but those rims should be just fine since that is what came on there and have obviously worked just fine for the last 6 years.

Good morning fellas!

Well I thought I had Dive training today but they changed it. I was looking forward to hanging by the lake on this nice sunny day. I guess an email was sent out telling us but the email was very vague. It never said Dive training was canceled just there was some training by the County Attorneys office and an attached agenda. Oh well just a normal day for me.

It must be the Chapter leader thing. It must be making him feel superior.

Thanks on the info on the sig line.. I did not see the option to add a pic, so I will look after work today when I can focus a bit better...

The deal with the tires -
My tires are not worn out but they are "timed out" (more than 6 years old) and I don't trust them.
Triple axle trailers are really hard on side scuffing on the front or rear axle depending on the direction you are going.
ST LR-E tires have proven themselves to be more susceptible to damage and blow-outs than the same sized LT Tires and even better yet are LT in a LR-G.
The LR-G tires have an inflation spec of 110 PSI. The LR-E tires are 80 PSI.
I want the added protection of the LR-G LT tires as I have been stuck along side a road with a ditch full of snakes and vermin right next to me in the middle of the night before and would just rather not go back there...
Some people may think I'm on crack and that's fine.. I have the well being of my family as my responsibility- no one elses...

This is the same reason I spent 65k on a new truck that was more than strong enough to do the job.

I simply want to motor down the road to our destination and get there with no fanfare other than a Whoopie!!! from my wife...

Sorry - maybe a bit longer than I had anticipated....

They seem okay but there is always room for improvement!

Gotcha on the timed out thing. When I got my camper the tires were all weather checked and cracked so replacing them was the first thing I did. I guess then if it was me I would get the heavier tires if that makes you feel better and put them on the existing rims and not look back. No matter what you do you still can't completely avoid blowing a tire even new ones can blow out or get cut down but you will greatly improve your chances.
