Just referencing PSI is out of context...there are other factors involved
One set of Load Range C LT's on my Silverado has a sidewall listed max of 35PSI
Tire type/class, size, rim bead to bead, weight on that corner, etc all play
Think of a tire as a air spring holding up weight, of which is only one of a tires
responsibilities.
My road bicycle tires have a sidewall listed max 120 PSI and is 700mm x 20mm
(29 inches dia and less than 1 inch wide). My new MTB has tire sidewall listed
Max 35 PSI.
Again, just talking about PSI is out of context.
