The funny thing is... dosages on medicine bottles aren't even "safe" dosages.

They're recommended dosages to achieve the desired effects.

Meaning: "beyond this dosage, you will not see any increase in efficacy."

Which is exactly the same as the "maximum pressure" on tires.

They mean: "Beyond this pressure, you will not achieve any increase in 'x'."

"X", being, of course, load carrying capability. Nothing more, nothing less.

Neither pharmaceutical nor tire manufacturers are insane enough to put maximum safe dosage/pressure on their warning labels, because if they do, there will be some idiot out there who goes ahead and takes fifty sleeping pills all at once, or who decides that 150 psi sounds nice and firm.

Not that I suggest taking more than the recommended dose for any medication. Pains me to see people taking huge doses of vitamins on some new age health kick on the premise that you can never have too much... when that crap is bad for your kidneys and liver.
