    Do all tires have weight and pressure info stamped on both sides, or is this optional... not quite sure if they could have been put on backwards.

    Unless it's a Directional Tire, it's doubtful they were installed backwards.

    There should be Tire Pressure and Load Index Information molded on both sides of the tire in case the tire sidewall is ever scuffed up, damaged and unreadable, the same information can be obtained on the other side of the tire.

    Gonna have to lie down on the piss covered pavement to see the inside of the tirewall. Might be in violation of DOT regs if the tire is mounted upside down.

    Strange. Couldn't find the info online based on what was on the tire, brand and size, etc. Not really my job anyway (if it fits on the wheel it's most likely a truck tire, actually it says for dump trucks). Probably safe to assume 105 psi is enough pressure for an average tire that size and not over max for it. I'll try a lighted inspection mirror in case that's only stamped on the inner sidewall.
