Tire pressure chart
Followed the link and its not a list that gives save pressures in the lower loads, or the other way around gives to high loadcapacity's for the pressure .
If you would use a list from Michelin from the European market it would give already lower loadcapacity's .
Will see if I can find one , alredy searched for it for another topic.
In that list look at the 235/85 R 16 and below that the 245/70R16 also E load with same maximum load
Strange is that in KG the list is the same but in LBS there is a difference. To my opinion an administrative error.
But this is added to the wrong old American calculation wich leads to to much deflection in the lower pressure/loadcapacity range.
If your pressure is close to maxloadpressure of 80 psi no problemm.
