dude calm down..its obvious you are no tire tech so maybe read your sidewall
sometime...the max psi is listed as a cold temp....this pressure is set with
a tollerance for an increase in pressure due to heat....it is not uncommon
to gain up to 5-6 psi in summer weather on the interstate, and the tire
manufacturers know it.....so don't have a stroke, your point is not only
wrong, but basically pointless....(BTW "put yourself in the car the pressure
goes up" is incorrect too...the max weight is also what the max pressure is
designed for...sheesh...)
