Some dont under stand.
the sticker was put the 20 years ago, your tires are 20 years newer.
forget the sticker. is best practice,
i repeat.
1: ask the man who sold you the tires.
2: go to OEM tire maker web site. your tire data IS there and has a chart for all loads on said tire.
max PSI on stock tire in USA is 36. typical , of the era.
some other countries have vastly diff tires.
in the future this will get far far worse. ever heard of low rolling resistance tire.
do you have any idea at all how many differnent tires there are , just in ONE SIZE.
think of them like shoes.
1 size , million types for all kinds of usage
on road ,off,both , ice only, mud, only, sand only, track. gee,, its 21st century.
nothings easy.
when i was a kid i had cotton corded tires on my 61 chev. and it wore out or blew to hell in 10,000 miles or less.
the only thing consistant is Change.
that is the facts. (im no tire expert but i do know what i dont know and I do know it is a very complext topic and subject to change at the price of oil)
IMHO, YMMV
