You are correct, but the original post was about 4.80-12 Load Range C's at 60 psi - and in that case the load carrying capacity at 60 psi is indeed the same as the Load Range B - 785#.

There is either have a large difference in load carrying capacity or a large difference in inflation pressure needed for the load.
