been listening in on the conversation for a bit
I have question/concept on the Hyper-inflation issue:

what about changing the spec of the tire in stalled?
like putting a LT (light truck) tries on instead of P (passenger) tires

Then the rated pressures go up - so you could have 65 psi & be within spec

one would probably have a hard time finding LT metro tires
but for larger tire sizes would this be an alternative???
