Then I made a list with on front of psi 90% of 1 axle, and behind thebpsi for the tandem so 4 tires.
Single load used, because that is usuall on tandem.
Normaly I would substact 6 loadindex steps from ST, because maxload given for 65mph, even if L speedrated given.
But found out this is only for the larger sizes, not done for your size.
And I have a paper list from Michelin, got it from them 10 years ago, when they did not knew I was the mole.
It gives the Agillis 81 R speedrated, 205/70R15 106/104R, so that /75 instead of 70 would explain the 1 loadindexstep higher, and that tire is given maxload for 160kmph/99mph.
I once determined by reactions about screws trembling loose, that 80% using of loadcapacity calculated for the pressure, gives a deflection that wont tremble srews loose.
So 90% used makes weightdifference possible R/L on the axle.
Now you "ONLY" have to determine the axleloads or tandemload 99% acurate,the mist tricky part, and your responcibility, and search back in my made list, and use that pressure.
So dont add reserves or devide by 4 or 2, all done for you.
If you ever weigh per axle-end, I can make a new list for 95% used of 1 tires loadcapacity for the pressure, in wich you then search the heavyest tire back of the tandem. Then hope the others wont go below 80%.
