The strength of a Michelin XPS Rib LT235/85R16E at 80 lbs inflation is a a lot higher than a typical 34 pound ST235/80R16E. Hit a freeway aligator, frost heave or pot hole with each and see which holds up better. Chris
You're right. I corrected it to load capacity. Older people like me often times have brain f--ts or brain clouds...LOL.
The strength of the tire above is 3042# at 80 psi. Durability is not measurable.
