P metric and LT metric tires are not interchangeable.

CapriRacer,

I appreciate the data, but when you say
Quote:
The "---" in the table means the yearbook doesn't have an entry for that pressure - meaning the table either doesn't go that high for P metric or that low for LT metric. I take that to mean those pressure are not usable.
followed by:
Quote:
There are some notes under the published load tables that allow higher pressures than listed in the table above.
it makes it look like you are just showing the data that supports your point
(just an observation from the other end of the text - please don't take it personal)

Also from an industry that loves the aftermaket and the mod community
and gives us dangers like this...

and this


it is hard to imagine over inflating a bit
or upgrading to a professional grade tire to up pressures
is anywhere near as signifigant as either of these

Ecomodders are for the most part careful people
please help us quantify the risk and not just say it is impossible
Thanks,
