i have michelin Truck/off road data books
which show 3 pressure tables for 11.00r16XS
for road - paved hard surface max spd 50mph
track - washboard, bad roads max spd 30mph
sand - sand soft terrain max spd 10mph
pressures used are determined by the road type and the load in the vehicle as the air carries the load low air pressure less veh weight
lowest pressures listed 11.00R16XS are
46psi for road 50mph
39psi for track 30mph
26psi for sand 10mph
max load at this pressure is shown as 5,720lbs per axle. wheels listed are 6.50H or 6.50H-cs
don't have an XL chart soooo
you should double check with your local michelin truck dealer should have master book
that shows the whole load/inflation/speed chart for the tires.
the above listing is for the XS (sahara) tire
need to know axle load as the charts all start with load then list pressure for load/surface
is that an M37 or WC in the picture ??
looks like wc rad cap
