Not really...that is only the first page, that looks to do nothing more than show section width. The next two pages show IP of 25, 35, and 45 on a 235-17. The different lines would presumably be vertical force ?(converted...985, 1182, 1313, and 1751lbs) showing the higher the vertical force on the tire the higher the cornering grip...but not linearly.

True, but higher pressures "should" create less contact patch as the tread bulges and the side wall doesn't deflect....especially with the stiffer sidewall. I know the tires are much stiffer than an RA1 but to ALSO run the tire at 42 to 45 lbs, would be like driving on concrete...so yeah, soften the setup. the problem, is there isn't a lot of softening AI cars can do without hosing all the geometry. It's almost to a point I think we need the triple adjustable shocks to adjust jounce/rebound and high speed jounce to control the wheel/tire with less control by the spring. WC guys already have these $5k shocks to play with at will....I really don't want to have to buy them to make this tire work....I already have to account for a larger tire bill as it is. but we will see how this goes I guess.
