For example, check out BFG's tires:

Most of the LR C tires have a max PSI of 50 and some at 35 (the psi listed for the max load is the max psi). The D range tires are all 65 PSI max. Then the LR E tires are at 80 PSI.
Two of those at 35 are a non-metric (33X...), which I expected could be a 35, the other one is metric. Sure would like to know the difference of why one metrc LR C would be that low pressure. It's not tread width as there are others as wide that have a 50lb max. Must have something to do with it's construction.

Bought stock BFG AT KO's 265 70 17's and ran 35 at first, mileage REALLY suffered.....bumped up to 40psi all around and getting normal mileage again, NICE TIRES.
