I just ran into another head scratcher. When changing from P metrics to E rated tires it is really difficult to find any inflation tables. It took a few hours of research to get a number. I looked at several tire sites and posts all over the web. After much reading it seems that Michelin says to increase the pressure by 15 lbs to have the same carrying capacity as the p metric since I am only using the E rated tire to stiffen the sidewall for less gusy/sway I will run them at 50 lbs.
The next question was what is safe for the Rim pressure. It seems that Ford no longer puts the max pressure on the rim So again what is the weak point of the component. I do not expect that 50 PSI will do any harm but once I go above the PSI that is on the door I am in no mans land and I suspect I have violated any warranty that the rims come with.
