    No... Sorry but IMHO you are incorrect there, Cobber, because the manufacturer doesn't know what the tyre is going to be fitted too, Surf, Frontera, Rodeo, Navara, Patrol, Hummer, Dyna, Hino, Fuso...

    From Hankook website- "In addition, the maximum inflation pressure for safe driving is marked on the tyre sidewall"
    From Michelin website - "...on the tire side wall shows the max allowable inflation pressure."
    From Cooper website- "Do not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall."
    From Kuhmo website - "Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure labeled on the tire sidewall"
    etc etc they are direct quotes from the Manuf (pls excuse some paraphrasing).

    There are mobs (and my local Bob Jane is one of them) who told me and other family to ignore the pressure as it is just a manuf recommendation. IMHO grab your money and run do not walk to another supplier if any pimply faced d1ckhead tries to tell you that... or better still try a Warranty Claim.

    However... I MUST add one disclaimer in that there could be manufacturers out there putting a recommended pressire on the sidewall BUT I haven't heard or seen it and there are a LOT of tyres I haven't had anything to do with

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
