Re: tire pressure myth?

Dude.
You're nuts.
I see door stickers say 28-29-31-32-33 psi all the time.
the sidewalls on my car are 35psi max on the rear, and 44 on the front. That shoots down your whole "rounded to the nearest 5" idea.

2-50 tons? I don't know of any tire made for that wide of a range. E load tires are usually good for ~3500pounds at 90PSI. That's 1.75 tons. Per tire. Even the trailer truck tires arent rated for too much more than that. Want to put more weight on? Easy - add more tires. That's why trailers usually have 16 tires to distribute their load on (2 per side per axle, and 4 axles).
