I finally understand that the data on the sidewall, something like: 80 PSI max, XXXX lbs max load" is very misleading. These two pieces of data are meant to stand separately. It is not XXXX lbs max load AT 80 PSI, it is 80 PSI max pressure at some load, and XXXX lbs max load at some pressure -- two separate and unrelated pieces of info.
The statement "Max load xxxx lbs at xxx psi" absolutely means that the tire can support xxxx lbs at xxx psi.
The xxxx lbs is the maximum the tire is rated for, xxx psi is the pressure required for the tire to carry that weight.
They are VERY CLOSELY related.
Read the load inflation charts.
They ALL state the pressure required to support specific loads right up to their max load rating.
Your discussion with Michelin got the wires crossed somewhere.
