It's too bad they didn't ask the most critical question that would
really tell if there was a problem.... They needed to ask "What
pressure do you use" besides asking "where do you get the pressure you
use. If those people who are not using the placard still put in at
least 28 psi for cars and 32 for trucks there is unlikely to be much
of a problem with what they are doing. A few people with trucks with
E rated tires would still be under inflating but anyone using 28 to 35
psi is very unlikely to have a problem caused by the "wrong" tire
pressure. "


My point in bringing this up is to consider the 'logic' by how
drivers determine tire pressure for their vehicles:

"Correct tire PSI? Must be on the TIRE".

Which *might* apply if their vehicle is operated at
maximum capacity(materials/tools/passengers) at
least 3/4 of the time.
