No, there are 2 ways the sidewall information is expressed:
1) Max Load XXXX at YY pressure
2) Max Load XXXX, Max Pressure YY
For Standard Load Passenger car tires with speed ratings T and lower, the first configuration is sometimes used.
For H and higher speed ratings you will see the 2nd configuration. But sometimes you'll see the 2nd configuration for T and lower.
These 2 configurations are not equivalent statements.
And I should warn you that for some reason Kumho uses the first configuration in a misleading way. So for the purposes of this discussion, let's stay away from the way Kumho is doing it, as it just confuses the matter more.
