Load Vs Pressure

…tire pressure for normal highway conditions, tire inflation pressures are initially increased and then the tire's rated load capacities (branded on the sidewalls) are reduced as speeds climb. In our example shown below, the vehicle manufacturer's recommended 35 psi for a 225/45R17 91W Standard Load…

…There are three basic elements which determine the load capacity of a tire: the size of the air chamber formed between the tire and wheel, the strength provided by the tire's construction to hold air pressure, and the amount of air pressure actually in the tire. Most flat tires (and tire "blowouts")…
