[QUOTE="Madcowranch, post: 181697, member: 185"] A huge oversight in most of the points made above is the weight that tire is carrying. Just because you have an E rated tire doesn't mean you have to automatically carry certain psi all the time. Anybody who's hauled heavy loads over the road knows you don't build up nearly the same amount of heat in a tire (which, by the way, is what destroys a tire at speed- not flex) loaded as when unloaded. PSI becomes MUCH more critical when you're running close to that specific tire's maximum carrying capacity. Speed plays a huge role as well, but we're discussing psi. Also, someone mentioned the numbers on the side of the tire. Those are MAX INFLATION numbers!:ROFLJest: [/QUOTE]
