Please, don't be so defensive - that is why I choose to get the
information directly from one of Kumho's tire engineers. The information
on Tire Rack's site is what first alerted me to the discrepancy. Most
likely Tire Rack has listed misinformation, but the only way to truly
know is through talking with the engineer of the tire. As I said, I'll
let you know what he says. After all, we do know that someone prominent
in the Vanagon aftermarket (who does NOT have a degree in tire
engineering, btw) that sells under-rated car tires to unsuspecting folks
all over the country and yet manages to sleep at night. That's actually
how this thread got started., I believe.
