Door jamb on car states PSI should be COLD 49 PSI. However, the MAX PRESSURE printed on the tire itself, is 50 PSI. Through normal driving as temperature of the tire increases, it put the tire at an unsafe PSI of 53 and higher on hot days. This becomes a dangerous tire to drive on. WIth regular driving, tires will develop deformation driving on normal roads. The slightest bump can cause "impact damage" to the tire, to which the tire company and vehicle manufacturer state they are not responsible for the damage. Once there is damage to the tire, this now creates a very unsafe tire to drive on and could blow out and cause an incident. Tire: Bridgestone Potenza Sport 265/30ZR19 (93Y) and 245/35ZR19 (93Y) XL / Extra Load Audi OE specification: R2 ENLITEN Maximum inflation pressure: 50 PSI Maximum load: approximately: 1,433 lb
