"TPC"...does this acronym ring a bell?
"Tire Performance Criteria" (Toyotas spec for the tire on your vehicle)
YU are exceeding your tires limits for
a neglible net gain that is
insignicant.
And,
at the sacrifice of saftey, performance, and tire wear.- Force & Moment
- Residual Aligning Torque (RAT)
- Rolling Resistance
- Braking Traction
- Driving Traction
- Uniformity
- Noise
- Dimensions
- Mass
- Rev/KM
- High Speed
- Air Retention
- Electrical Resistance
- Automatic Mounting
- Endurance (ATE)
- Treadwear
- Chip/tear
- Groove Wander
- Ride & Handling
- Wet/Snow Handling
Consider the above criteria as spec'd by Toyota.
Your theory impacts the above criteria, yu are exceeding the limits of the tire design. Altering the load range spec. too much.
Plain and simple...
If yu advocate your PSI to others, make sure yu explain that it can be hazardous and not safe for some vehicles...
I know much about Tires.
I don't brag much about anything. But Tires IS my passion. I will brag about my knowledge of them if need be just to prove my point. When we can both communicate in
tire talk then we can debate further, using the same language.
I'm not into simple Rants. Or, Tit For Tat either.
Now analyze this and the Life yu say YOU have.
