Sorry, but if you'll read it again you'll see that it says the load limit for various inflation pressures. I think that means for a given inflation pressure, that's the maximum load carrying capacity.

I have found only found 2 situations where the inflation pressure for a passenger car is specified by a vehicle manufacturer over 35 psi (36 in metric units).
1) Extra Load tires
2) European cars, particularly German cars, where they have dual inflation pressure specs and the one over 35 psi is for max load / high speed (I think you found one of those). Obviously they are considering the Autobahn. When these cars come to the US, sometimes the pressure spec changes, sometimes not.
