One of the things I found out with running max pressures on my LT tires were that when it came time to unmount them from the rim, the bead ended up tearing from the tires. I never had them unmounted from when I bought them brand new 3 years ago. Something to think about if you git a flat and they have to patch it...you might end up buying a new tire.
