This dialogue between us was never about me giving you specific advice on the tire pressure you run in your Michelin’s. You asked me about a statement I made and I’ve been offering up evidence to support my statements. Citing TireRack is no last ditch efforts, it’s simply ANOTHER source of information that is in concurrence with the info from Toyo. The info from Toyo and TireRack does not contradict each other, they complement each other.
You’re right, it wasn’t, but the moment I corrected you on what major tire brands say about their tires, that’s when you started in on this whole thing and whether or not the sources of information complement each other or not, I still proved to you that in the beginning, your ten percent stuff really only pertains to LT tires replacing our stock P-rated tires. Now whether or not a P-rated tire can support whatever it says it can on the sidewall, who cares. We are still limited to what our trucks can and can’t do and tires isn’t going to change that.
But I’m just curious, where does tire rack get their information from that you cited second? At least the first part has the NHTSB and whatever that other long acronym was to back that up, but where does it say (other than tire rack) that the tires they put on all halftons and large suvs is reduced just because of what they are on?
But again, it’s still funny how you haven’t commented towards a lot of what I’ve said like about how what you were thinking in the beginning only applies to LT tires and not P-rated tires and when I said basically, how many 33’ tires with 20 inch wheels are mounted to small cars and SUVs??? It’s pretty much because of that why I don’t care what tire rack says. I’m not running the same tires my girlfriend has on her little Honda Civic, or the even smaller passenger tires my mom has on her even smaller Mazda hatchback on my full-size truck.
But whatever, deflect all you want, I really don’t care. After talking to that lady at Toyo, even if I do someday have to make the ole Hemi break a sweat again some day while on the p rated Michelins, I’m not gonna worry about my tires because they are more than capable of doing the job because just like in the first post that you made when I responded to you and told you that three major tire companies would argue with what you said, when you said something about as long as you use the inflation table, yada yada yada, and as long as you find a tire that’ll hold like 2300 and some odd pounds, that you’d be fine… Well, you’d be pretty hard-pressed to find a tire in our stock size that won’t do what even the stock SRA’s‘s can do. It’s just like with tires that are in a 35 inch size; you’ll also be very hard pressed to find a 35 inch tall tire that is not a 10 ply because of the fact that what most tire manufacturers make a tire in that size, for, they make them for the people who think that’ll be buying them, is to go off road and they want a tire that’ll handle whatever they encounter while on the trail. Pretty much another reason why I’ll probably never level or lift my truck and put big tires on because I don’t want 10 ply tires on my truck. I tried that once with eight ply tires and the smooth ride that sold me on my truck, just up and vanished and my mileage suffered.
