Please realize that this 2x sidewall pressure thing is speaking ONLY about the tire. There are numerous rim makers that would give you much lower values as safe with their rims. The lab testing I think referenced using a steel walled rim, that is bound to be able to withstand anything (more or less) thrown at it. Not sure also what width rim they use for given sized tire.
