Interesting observation that many people believe the “T” rating is too high. That is related to something I wondered about the rating especially for the desert – for the average family sedan, do car manufacturers put on tires that meet the absolute minimum to cut costs, or do they go a little higher to minimize safety lawsuits? Or do they shoot for the middle and not worry about the temp extremes either hot or cold?
