This is why I want to stay in the passenger car tire arena.
LT tires are designed to be inflated up to 50, 65, 80, 95 psi, depending on the load range, where passenger car tires are designed to be inflated up to 35 psi (assuming similar usage)
And - no - the sidewall isn't designed to be stiffer, it just is because of the added reinforcement to allow higher inflation pressures.
And to answer IndyIan - all inflation pressures are cold pressures except when they are specifically are calling out pressure buildup.
