Tire and wheel builders use various laws of thermodynamics to account for the increased pressures generated by heat. In the fitment of wheels and tires the recommended cold inflation pressures for the maximum load capacities have therefore been accounted for.

An OEM tire with a maximum load capacity of 3520# @ 80 psi would not overtax an OEM rim with a maximum load capacity of 3520# @ 80 psi.
