Max Tire Pressure for a Deuce Rim

[Wildchild467]

I recently put 9.00R-20 steer tires on my truck and even at 80PSI, the tires still look like they could use more wind in them. I looked on the stamping on the wheels and nothing is listed on them for the max pressure. On the tire, I believe it is listed as 90 PSI I believe, I have to double check though. I just didn't want to blow the rims apart or something. My truck is a winch truck, so I know its a little more heavy in the nose than a non-winch truck.

I think you will have tire problems long before rim lets go .
9.00-20 single 65 psi 4000lb rating
9.00-20 duel 55 psi 3510lb rating
I have always though 9.00-20 on the steering looked low on air and looked maxed out running 65psi I have never had a problem .

I've had mine up to 120psi on stock wheels.

Toward the end of the "Old Days", back when lock ring, tube type wheels were king, and the tube type radials were coming out, we didn't hesitate to air them up, often over 100 PSI. The wheels will take far more pressure then the tires should have.

A 900x20 at 90 psi will try to make itself the size of an 1100x20, except on the bottom. Tends to separate the cord from the rubber too.

These are the radial tires. I agree we should follow the guide lines on the side of the tire for tire pressure.
