You need to remember that it is the air pressure that supports the tire load not the tire construction. If you were correct then we would have Tire Construction / load tables not Inflation / Load tables.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-77957424050686165112019-09-23T05:43:44.497-07:002019-09-23T05:43:44.497-07:00 I forgot to add, trailer tire Side walls are stif... I forgot to add, trailer tire Side walls are stiff because they are designed to handle the extreme side load force caused by tight turning with dual axles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080925267566983594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-12733136137055588182019-09-23T05:32:01.572-07:002019-09-23T05:32:01.572-07:00Light truck tires are made differently than traile...Light truck tires are made differently than trailer tires. The side walls are stiffer on a trailer tire because they are designed to handle more weight. A light truck tire has flexible side walls that provide a smoother ride.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080925267566983594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-43308569875454749722019-08-23T12:46:26.182-07:002019-08-23T12:46:26.182-07:00Might it have something to do with the fact that v...Might it have something to do with the fact that vehicle manufacturers generally have a recommended pressure for tire inflation, regardless of the maximum pressure listed on the tire? Just guessing, but if load capacity is based upon air pressure, and the auto manufacturers specify pressure less than max listed for the capacity of the tire, could they have a concern that the auto should not carry more capacity without additional pressure (which they are setting a limit against with their little sticker in the door)?Streambrewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765433496055351145noreply@blogger.com
