Yes indeed, agree on all counts. I'll even add another; a Crown Vic -- especially a loaded up police special Crown Vic -- will heat its tires faster, and to a higher temperature, than any Fit ever will -- INCLUDUNG tracked Fits.

Which brings us to this.

Other than that thanks for the info. Good article but info sounds a little dated, I'll stick to what the car manufacturer says and not the tire manufacturer.
Exactly the wrong conclusion. You need to look at it from the perspective of the tire manufacturer. He has to be extremely conservative with what gets printed on the side of the tire. It's a safe number.
