I have recollections of a post that the Burklands authored about testing 
heavy duty aero tyres( many plies )   that were subject to very heavy loads 
at landing at high speeds and after the testing to destruction this type of 
tyre on the Burklands test rig  the concensus was that the loading on the 
tyre only played a minor roll compaired to the centrifugal forces in its 
ultimate destruction , anyway it appears that a large safety margin is 
manufactored into these commercial tyres :)  hopefully the michelin 
motorcycle tyres are of the same quallity as these are what I will be using
