Yes, I am aware of that, and I disagree with the way they state it.

Proof? I could show you the source documents, if that would help.

But an easy way would be to ask Michelin what the load carrying capacity of a particular tire is at 35 psi if the tire is a P metric, or at 36 psi, if the tire is a Euro metric. If I am right, then the answer will be the same load as published, showing that what they published isn't quite accurate.

- OR - you could ask for a load table for the particular tire. Either way, I am confident of what you will get back.
