To go along with my leaking stem, I have a question about tire pressure.
The front tires on Brutus are 12 ply (perhaps 16? but I think 12) "Impliment tire" their size is something like 12.5 x 16
I have looked on BOTH tires for rated pressure, and the only thing I've seen is something saying to the effect of
"use no more than 35 psi to SET THE BEAD"
Well... once the bead is set, what is the tire rated for?
I'd had in my mind something like 60 psi (since this can lift something like 3 tons)... yet it doesn't say that & I really don't want to blow myself up with a tire accident.
Any ideas?
I currently have them up to about 40 psi for my overnight leakdown test (loader keeping them off ground, so no machine weight is loaded on them).
