Tony, the pounds per square inch applies to the air INSIDE the tire, not to the ground. Obviously, a 215/55 tire will take more air to achieve 35 psi than a 215/40 tire. That is why the load rating on my tires is dangerously low. The car is riding on less air in the tires even though it is the same psi. There is physically less volume in the tire to put air before the max psi level is reached.
Have a safe trip...not literally, don't want you to hydroplane on your stomach. :p I hydroplane on my ego...and stomach! I'm versatile.
