I just talked to Bridgestone. This is what they told me. Believe it if
you like or dispute it if you must, but phone Bridgestone to complain.
Not me. I am running Bridgestone 173 steel Radials. E rated.
Weight rating 3345 # at 80 psi
I have 65 psi. What does that do to my weight rating?
It will reduce the rated capacity to 3000#/tire
Conclusion
Unless I am planning to load my GM to 6000# per axle I am ok.
For each 5# reduction in pressure reduce the capacity by 100#, within
reason of course. This was a good answer for me. You may make your own
decisions.. Over and out. Darren
