I'll take a look again today but am 99% sure it said max 81 psi at 1450 lb load. The tires are snow rated "all weather" tires (different from all season) and cost me $225 a piece. They are also low rolling resistance and you can drive 40 mi on a flat on them...

They are not Truck/Van tires but since noticing the high sidewall max I starting looking at friends tires and know what you mean. My girlfriend has an 04 echo whos sidewall max is 40 psi but my friends flatbed mitsubishi fuso has max sidewall of 80 psi.

If the case is that the sidewall on my car tires is in fact 81 psi, is it reccomendable to go that high? It sounds somewhat dangerous...one bump and they would tear apart from the inside out or something. There must be some pressure (different for each tire) where it stops affecting the footprint to a noticable amount.

Anyone know where to buy a good gauge?
