Accuride Corporation Friday announced Accuride’s steel wheel part numbers 51408, 51487 and 51637 have been tested and approved for a new increased tire inflation rate of 125 psi.
The increased inflation ratings expand the range of tire choices available to trucking fleets, enabling them to balance cost, availability, and efficiency as needed, the company says.
Accruide adds there are no changes in the design, components, or manufacturing process of the wheels. Effective Feb. 1, 2024, the rim stamp on the wheel will be changed to reflect the new load rating.
