Bottomline: There was an identifiable cause for the tire failures - unique to the tires in question - AND - while the inflation pressure wasn't helping things, it was within the bounds of what was being done in the timeframe (where other vehicles and other tires did NOT have this problem)
So, No! The pressure specified by Ford was NOT the thing that caused the problem.
(Please note: The key to sorting this out is to look at the GAWR's and tire load carrying capacity at the pressure specified.) |
So are you suggesting that 26psi cold was an acceptable pressure, but that anticipated loads per axle weren't taken into consideration?
Confused..
