The replacement for the rear came out high enough that they had to rotate it 180 degrees on the rim and it still came out at 17# of road force which satisfies the computer. I do wonder however if 25# of force is OK for my nearly 4000# tahoe or some 5000# truck, maybe 17# is way to much for my little 2400# Cobra......I would think that if 26# is max on anything, then half that (13) should be max for a car half the weight????
Way too high you are correct lighter cars can tolerate less force variation looks like replacing high force variation tires is your best option.
