What The!
The most miss understood bit of information ever printed is the Tire Recommended Specs.
The manufacture put recommended tyre pressures to have a average Jo Blo sedan have a soft ride.
The max pressure warning is for the septic tanks (Yanks). Its part of the USA design rules that all tyres in the USA must have a max tyre pressure rating.
It has nothing to do what you can actually run the pressures at and what you should run them at.
For drags go soft under 30 psi. For good handling, tyre life, economy and less chance of a tyre blow out go for min 38.
Go ahead and run at the tyre manufactures spec he and the local tyre shop will appreciate the business in tyre sales.
Cheers
