Hi All,

That said, pickup trucks are probably different. Pickup truck tires have load ratings for the hauling weight of the vehicle, and that hauling weight is allot more than the unloaded weight. In a car the loaded weight is much less in comparison to the unloaded wieght.

44 PSI in pickup truck tires may crown the patch. Not in a most cars however. Especially a Prius, which has low load rating, in comparison to the cars weight. My 300 pound lighter Saturn SL2 used the same tire load rating.
