HMMMMM, I wonder what chart he was using as this chart above 235/75 r17.5 "J" at 80psi only gives 4,210# capacity. Using this chart with a 4,500# load he would have needed 95psi per GY Tech Support.
Let's try 245/70 R17.5. HMMMM that only gives 4,110# at 80psi.
The 215/75 R17.5 highest load range is "G" and 80psi gives 3.135# capacity.
Looks like your person had no clue what they were doing??? Maybe provide the chart he used and tire size/load range.
Please correct me of i posted any incorrect info.
