325 BHQS Wheel Rating
I know there is another thread on wheel psi ratings, but this is a different class and model.
We are more than likely going to pull the trigger on a 325 BHQS in the next 10 days or so. I will definitley be doing the Maxxis upgrade, but would really like to go ahead and do the GY G614 or Sailun G rated upgrade before delivery.
Does anyone know the wheel rating on this 2016 Jayco Eagle 325BHQS model?
Thanks for any help.

Actually no it doesnt. I know the tire specs, but I'm trying to determine the wheel psi ratings. If I upgrade to a G rated LT tire, I need to know that the wheels are spec'd to handle the 100-110 psi on the tires.
But you're more than welcome to give me your thoughts on your fiver. How do you like it? How has it treated you so far?

I've been told by tire salesmen that rims that handle 80 psi can handle 95-110 psi but the valve stems need to be switched over to metal stems that are designed for high psi.
I'm not so sure about the accuracy of that. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

We love our 325 BHQS. We especially like the extra room in the living space with the opposing slides. We take our grandchildren and on those rainy days it is nice to have the extra room. We also like that the bunk house is at the opposite side of the main bedroom. This allows me to get up early and not wake the grand kids. Another feature we like is the TV being across from the recliners, so your not twisting your heads on those occasions your stuck inside.

Based on weights JAYCO runs 90 psi with G-614 they do not install steel valve stems. Goodyear backs that info with their tire pressure chart, no need to run max 110 psi.

Good to hear. ALL of the reasons you listed are the reason we like this floorplan. Especially the TV across from the recliners!

You are correct! I wasn't planning on running 110, because I won't be at max weight for the tires. But, I do need to make sure the wheels can handle 85-95psi. And steel valve stems wouldn't be a requirement for that psi, but it wouldn't hurt to install them anyway.

The rims on my 2011 are rated for 110psi It's cast into the rim spoke.
I run my G614's at 100 psi.

Bud Man , I have a 16 325 and the wheels are stamped 3200 #, I have not seen the psi rating. The Rainiers have metal valve stems from the factory. Hope this helps. Wish I went my maxxis BTW

That's odd? 6400lbs of wheel capacity on what I'm assuming is 7k axles?
Thanks for the info!

More likely 6k axles.

Ok, so after searching the Ole Google engine and seeing several comments from tire experts and posts from other forums, I've come to this conclusion.
It doesn't matter what the wheel psi rating is, it's the carrying capacity on the wheel. Meaning, you can put 110psi in a 3200lbs rated wheel (with metal stems of course), but that doesn't mean it will increase the wheel weight rating. I'm not wanting to overload the wheel or trailer for that matter, I'm just wanting more peace of mind for the tires. I want LT or G rated tires that allow me cushion on my Fiver that MAY weigh 14k if grossed out, and LT or G rated tires that allow to exceed 65mph IF needed.
Thoughts?

I still feel better with more tire than axle!

Man, I'm still debating on this, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the Sailun and install metal valve stems if not already installed.
