All P tires are a very soft tire and work great on the std duty 1/2 ton truck rear axles which generally run in the 3800-4000 lb range. When towing with the wifes 1500 chevy with P265/70-17 tires I pump them to the max at 44 psi. Even 44 psi is still a soft tire for load carrying or a several thousand lb trailer pushing the back end of the truck around.
This from CapriRacer on P load capacity vs max pressure;

" On P metric Standard Load tires, the load carrying capacity increases as the inflation pressure increases - up to 35 psi.
The maximum usage pressure for a Standard Load P metric tire might not be 35 psi - it might be 44 or 51 psi, but that doesn't change the relationship between the pressure and the load.
Don't believe me? Find a load table for P metric Standard Load tires and see for yourself. They all end at 35 psi."
