If you had read this thread you would have noticed the several posts in which I copied data directly from the NHTSA, the Tire Industry Media and the industry itself.

At one time it was easy to refute all of this as Senior GNC had researched all of it and posted the supporting links. Alas they no longer work as the website has been redone. And nobody has had the time to wade thru it all again to update it.
If I was going to quote some text from Winston Churchills 6 volume History of WWII regarding his correspondence with Roosevelt I wouldnt bother to Post the entire 6 volumes. The same is true here. I posted what was most immediately relevant to this subject. there are reams of unrelated information in the NHTSA Rule CFR49 that has nothing to do with this topic. And thus no reason to post it.
