I didn't click the article but I know what to expect. Recycled journalism. Conveying the common knowledge with no real inspiration to question convention and find new information. That's what I'd bet it's about.

I understand the tire pressure dilemma. If someone did ever have a blow-out, and was using a higher pressure, one may be inclined to blame the journalist (or news organization) for the recommendation. Personally, I run over placard but below sidewall. Feels fine to me.
