Please be aware that I am using the quicklly available resources and I am NOT verifying if they are correct.
How about the tire on the 2011 Chevy Mailbu 1LT? (Source: Tire Rack) It is a P215/55R17 93S Firestone FR710. It shows a max load of 1433# with a max pressure of 44 psi.
I can show you a page from the 2005 Tire and Rim Yearbook that shows the load table that stops at 35 psi with a 1433# max load. You'll have to go to the Chevy dealer and actually look at the tire to verify that it says 44 psi max! - or you can take Tire Rack's word.
