How about ambient temperature or outside temperature and road temperature? How much does this matter? How long can you go over the speed rating of the tire before it causes something bad? Can you drive it for an hour over the speed rating of the tire half an hour? 5 minutes?
Load rating matters but how much if you’re hundred pounds over how much difference does it make? If you’re 100 pounds under how much difference does it make if you’re 500 pounds over or under how much does that make?
