Re: Tire pressure.

Right, the sidewall inflation is a "Maximum" inflation number, what the tire can handle, but not what the car's manufacturer recommends. You should never inflate based on what's on the sidewall, it should always be what the "door sticker" suggests based on your load. That's true for all modern cars, and a common misunderstanding.
