A tire with a (static) load rating that exceeds the (static) gross vehicle weight for a given axle is perfectly legal and once matched or exceeded, capable of supporting dynamic loads in all driving conditions by definition.

If your interpretation had any merit, you couldn't drive the car at all because even hitting a dip or bump resulting in far higher dynamic loads can easily exceed the tire load rating by up to several orders of magnitude.

I'm not sure where you came up with this elaborate conspiracy theory you're now repeating ad nauseum as the reality is as simple as comparing two figures, weight and load rating, and being done with it. Check anywhere, ask anyone, read any literature about the subject; this is exactly how it is, with no room for speculation.

Let's have Google Gemini simplify the reality for you:

How to find and use the load index:
  • Locate the number on the tire's sidewall:
    The load index is a two or three-digit number found within the tire's service description, typically between the tire's dimensions and the speed rating.
  • Consult a load index chart:
    Use a standardized chart, such as those provided by Pirelli or Les Schwab, to find the maximum carrying capacity in pounds or kilograms corresponding to your tire's load index number.
  • Determine your vehicle's total capacity:
    Multiply the load capacity of a single tire by the number of tires on your vehicle to find the total weight your tires can carry.
  • Ensure compatibility with your vehicle:
    Verify that the load index of your tires meets or exceeds the load capacity specified by your vehicle manufacturer, which can be found on the vehicle's door jamb label or in the owner's manual
Last sentence is the answer: Bentley's minimum Load index is 105 for 19" tire and 102 for 20" tire, any thing lower than that does not meet or exceed the Manufacturer's specified load index. Thank you for finally agreeing with me and documenting why I was right.
Have a nice life troll.

Which can be street legally and in practise overridden by the preceeding paragraph, as indicated by the maximum gross weight stated for each axle.

Now we can get to an earlier claim of yours:

What does this have to do with 105Y on a tire that consequently exceeds the manufacturer's guidelines in both load and speed rating, when you brought it up when it does? Did you just want to come up with an imaginary flaw of your own after realizing the tire you called "grand touring" beating an actual Pilot Sport 5, not a handicapped all-season, by 2.61 seconds on wet handling course and 0.32 seconds on dry (in addition to wet braking, dry braking, aquaplaning, noise and rolling resistance) in Tyre Reviews' 05/2023 "The BEST Performance Tyres Tested", just to mention one instance of many with similar results?

When you collected the Tire Rack test ratings from two different tires together didn't you know that the scores are category-dependent? Wet and dry handling scoring for an ultra high performance tire is quite different than for an all-season tire, the latter being an equivalent of a world's tallest midget compared to the big boys in former.

Your claims have contained quite a few misconceptions and incoherencies across the board, just to mention a few above, and culminating in shooting the messenger by attempting the last desperate "troll" excuse. What's next, "you smell bad and I don't want to play with you"? Come on, we're just getting started and you've already provided an abundance of material underlining your misconceptions there's plenty of time to analyze thoroughly.

Go Away, now your just being annoying-Troll somewhere else. You add nothing of value here.

Correcting the misinformation you're spreading may annoy you and it's understandable that pointing out the factual errors in your claims and requesting you to elaborate on figments of your imagination makes you want the questions to go away, but there are so many open questions about incoherent and irrelevant claims you've written so far that it most certainly isn't in public interest to just let that be. If you're not held responsible to ridiculous claims as stated earlier (and to which you obviously could only respond "go away"), the informative value of discussions can be lost in all the useless noise you make.

So please, elaborate. Some of the questions have been presented above, a number of times, no less. Your attempts at evading responsibility for claims you made are amusing but not as much as any further excuses you might come up to defend them. And don't worry about running out of material anytime soon, your posting history contains an abundance of it for further evaluation if need be.
