I agree.
And the communication even after the fact is not consistent.
My all-seasons came back, after being installed, inflated to 48 PSI. When I asked about it, the SC said the recommendation was "45 to 50." But the thread I referenced, or others on the topic, say the door stickers are now stating the minimum cold pressure is 50 PSI.
Where are you getting that information?
Everything I have read indicates that the maximum pressure is always the maximum to inflate to when the tire is cold, and that it is understood that the pressure will be higher than that when the tire heats up.
