Tires have many other responsibilities other than just weight carry...and the PSI is also NOT just for weight carry...it more to hold the tire's shape during its duties

Suggest reading up on how tires are rated and what those ratings mean.
It would be illegal in other countries who enforce ratings of vehicles & their components...to go lower in rating
Ditto wheels...the new re-engineered wheel must have equal to or more spec vs OEM
