Unfortunately
It is unfortunate that the writer didn't check with a tire engineer before he published his article. There are some errors in there that detract from the accuracy - and some of those involve the pressure.
Example: "...... The "max press" and "max load" numbers indicate the pressure at which the tire will carry the maximum amount of weight......"
The truth: The load and inflation information on the sidewall of a tire comes in 2 forms: Max Load XXXX at YY pressure - OR - Max Load XXXX, Max Pressure YY.
The first form is exactly what it says - a relationship, and it doesn't say anything about the max pressure.
The second tells you about the max usage pressure, but doesn't tell about the relationship to the max load.
Unfortunately this article now becomes one of those "I read on the Internet, so it must be true" kind of things.
