That Tire and Rim Association paper lists the MINIMUM pressures for each load. MINIMUM. Then in a note on the very next page it states this:

Quote:
Cold inflation pressures may be increased above those applicable to the tire loads up to the maximum marked on the tire with no increase in load.
In other words up to max sidewall is perfectly safe. Black and White from the Tire and Rim Association.
