In Reply to: Tire pressures posted by mss3020 on July 27, 2017 at 09:20:22:
The "Max load of ___ lbs at ___ psi" that is printed on the tire is exactly that - the maximum load the tire can handle when aired up to its maximum pressure. If the tire is mounted on a vehicle that is incapable of subjecting it to this maximum load then the pressure is adjusted down accordingly. This is why the vehicle manufacturer states what the tire pressure should be for a particular application and, especially with passenger vehicles, this is rarely as high as what the tire could handle. Any more pressure would just make the tire center wear faster and worsen the ride quality. A tire is designed to run at a certain amount of deflection or "squat" to get the best blend of life, stability, ride quality, and fuel economy and the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation for inflation pressure assures that it will run at this deflection for the weight it is carrying.
