Hi Bill. That picture is from the backside of the rim. If I had realized the rating info was on the inside, I would made sure he checked before he mounted the tires.
I have steel valves on all of the wheels - came with the rims from what I can see so it would seem the valves can handle 80psi. Rims are the big question.
Maker is CT&W. Carlisle Tire & Wheel. 2009 mfr date. I have a query in to them. We’ll see what they come back with. But I agree that it is more likely a 65psi rated rim being from ‘09. Could be pleasantly surprised… that would be a switch! Nothing else has been a pleasant surprise, though nothing really has been totally unexpected.
If all else fails I can bring back one tire and have him take a look inside then remount and rebalance. Maybe the spare, since I’m working getting the rack tweaked.
