<VV> tires

[Charles Fregeau]

Think it over Bob.

 

A flat tire (0 psia) has a load rating of basically zero.  Therefore the
more pressure, the more the tire will bear.  Most tire ratings are so many
pounds at 32 or 35 psia  Usually 35 psia for radials.

2.  Most tires are rated at 32 or 35 psi these days so you're going to lose
about half your rating in front and 1/4 or so in the rear.

Charles,

 

I've never heard or read that tire load capacity is proportionally related
to tire pressure.  A tire's pressure range is critical for load, bead
sealing etc.--but I've never seen any data that shows the load capacity
varying by the direct ratios you quoted.  The load itself affects pressure
to some degree.
