2013 Puma 356QLB Wheels

Does anyone know the brand and model of the wheels on this 5er?

Or maybe know what the PSI rating is for these wheels?

Thanks

The information you seek is on the tire.

Also check the tire pressure and lugnuts before moving your unit each day.

Run the maxim PSI listed on the tire. This is the required PSI for the weight rating listed on the tire. If you use a lower PSI you lose weight capacity of the tire and increase the risk of a blow-out. Running with a too low tire pressure increases the sidewall flex generating excessive heat and internal tire wall degeneration; neither are good.

Do not exceed the speed rating of the tire. Trailer tires are known to explode when under inflated and traveling above the speed rating.
They can also cause extensive damage to your unit when they explode.
A tire pressure monitoring system is an advisable necessary with todays China made tires.

A green valve steam indicates the tires are filled with nitrogen.
On the tire is a very important 4 digit number in an elongated oval. This is the tire manufacture date. A code of (0412) would be a tire made the 4th week of 2012. Consider replacing tires which are over 5 years old.

Thanks BBQGUY, my problem is I am one wheel short.

I have one wheel on the ground that is a white spoke wheel with a rubber valve stem.

in all the times I walked around the TH I never noticed that one wheel was different. the tires show max PSI of 80 lbs but it is my understanding that to run that kind of pressure you should have metal valve stems. I did find a 4th matching wheel on the spare.

I would like to find one more wheel to match the rest of them.

Wheel being the rim, or do you mean the tire?


Rubber valve stems are fine. They came that way with the 80PSI tires.
When you replace the tire, replace the stem. From your description, it seems that the unit has in the past had a blowout.
You may consider purchasing a new set of tires as the tires could be reaching the 5 year mark. Just because its a 2013 doesn't mean the tires are 2013's. Check all of the dates.

There are thousands of threads about the misfortunes of tires on the forum.

Yes I would like to find a matching wheel.

the factory wheels have metal stems in them.

I am getting ready to replace all the tires when I can get a nice warm week so I can bring it back to the house and do a long list of things to it which includes tires

this is what the wheel looks like and I was wondering if anyone knows the brand and model I have seen several that look like it but not completely sure.

Those on my '05 359thks look the same. Don't know who actually makes the rim, but frame/axle/wheel assemble came for Lippert Components. A dealer should be able to order you a replacement for white spokey to match the OEM's.

my biggest concern is that the white spoke wheel might be rated at 60 psi.
