isnt that the point. Your tyre will tell you your max pressure and Falken tells you a minimum and everything in between is personal preferenceAll the Falken table does is give you a theoretical minimum ‘safe’ pressure for a given load and tyre load rating. It does not take into account tuning tyre pressure with suspension, economy, comfort, road surface, environmental conditions etc. For my van their pressures are far too low and would result in very uneven tyre wear, poor economy and a bouncy ride from the undamped ‘suspension’ of the tyre.
my 245/65R17's have a max of 50psi and load of 1090kg
falken says at 40psi a 245/65 is capable of carrying 778kg (T28 700kg)
so personal preference kicks in between 40psi and 50psi acknowledging tyre wear and ride comfort
