We present DT Swiss guidelines for the proper selection of tire width and applied pressure to ensure compatibility and safe use with the rim. These guidelines are developed for DT Swiss rims but can also serve as a general reference for other manufacturers, unless they have indicated otherwise.
First, determine the type of rim you have: hooked or hookless. Then, knowing the internal rim width, you can match the appropriate tire width range and the maximum pressure recommended by DT Swiss for a given tire width mounted on that rim.
Example of how to read values from the table:
DT RR 521 Rim (hooked)
Internal width of this rim is 20 mm
Permissible tire widths: 23-56 mm
Recommended tire widths: 25-30 mm
Maximum pressure for 28 mm tire with inner tube:
7.8 bar / 113 psi
Maximum pressure for 28 mm tubeless tire:
6.3 bar / 91 psi

Note: the document contains 2 tables, note which one is for hooked rim and which one is for hookless.
