Thats strange. I never heard the theory that the MAX pressure is the CORRECT pressure 95% of the time.

MAXIMUM and RECOMMENDED dont mean the same thing do they?

I was always under the assumption you should follow the manufactures recommendations that are on the sticker on your door jamb, this is assuming you are running the same size tires and wheels that are on the stickers or came on the car originally.

When I worked at a garage, we always inflated tires to 32 PSI as that is where the tire machine was set as the recommended pressure, and also what seemed to work well on most applications.
Im interested in how "maximum" is the same as "preferred or recommended or proper".

Can you please elaborate?
