Where on earth did you read that? It's exactly wrong. Tires loaded near their rating overheat, and heat causes failures. Tires loaded well under their ratings run cool. When I first got my 15" Marathons, the first thing I noticed is that they run almost stone-cold - colder than the TV tires. The 14" Marathons ran quite warm (though not hot) under the same conditions.
