Considering Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 for my 2000 base Mustang on 17 X 9 wheels. The widest tire is 255 40 17 rated for 1477lbs @ 44 psi. The next smaller size is 245 45 17 rated at 1706 lbs at 50 psi.
Why the difference in load and psi between these tires that are nearly the same size? Should this load and psi difference be a factor in deciding which tire?
