You might be on to something. At first, I thought "Rolling Resistance issues", but I recall some LT tires actually are pretty slick in that department.

I think I remember a mail vehicle with the tire pressure printed on the vehicle -- maybe the old right-hand drive Jeeps or the new Grummans? (I think we have an expert in that department here...)

The fenders had "50 PSI" printed on the fenders above each wheel. I thought that was way high at the time.

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???
