It's not that costly to change the wording on the sidewall, to at least let the consumer know that the maximum allowable inflation pressure for the tire is not the ideal pressure for their specific vehicle.

I discovered the vehicle door frame Tire & Load placard 23 years ago, and never looked back. If I can learn to refer to it for pressures instead of the tire sidewall, so can anybody else.
