Why Do Original Equipt Tires Rate So Low?

I overinflate the tires 5psi the night before, then set them to Tire Placard or +1psi over first thing early morning.

Repeat 2X every month.

Done!

When I see Bridgestone's 'Ecopia' tires on anything German with three letters in the name I scratch my head.
