Found another interesting site. Did a search for ford mondeo (contour in the US) tyre inflation pressures and got this page. It lists seperate tire pressures according to whether it is loaded or not. Go figure, the pressures often go well over 35 psi!

Nearly all these cars are available in the US in very similar form, yet why the more informative chart for the UK? Is there the assumption americans are too thick to understand a simple chart?
