Really?

You're like chasing spilled milk Luke, editing your posts twice to try and win an argument? It is always disappointing when a salesman spends more time trying to win than he spends helping customers but I'm sure that your boss understands.

Your latest graph is more of the same information that I referenced earlier "There is a load and pressure chart available from Michelin for each tire.", and yes it does show that max. load is reached before max. pressure, but that doesn't take into account speed nor temperature which any Engineer will tell you are two critical pieces of information in tire design and capacity and thus pressure.

This is getting kind of sad Luke. You're going in circles, a classic sign of someone trying so hard to win an argument that he loses sight of the original point.

this discussion is about tire pressure and load capacity not temperature or speed

the original point is that maximum load capacity is achieved at a pressure point which is lower than a tires maximum inflation pressure. That is the only point my posts have stated.
