Your loading changes as you go around a corner. The Interply Shear (cause of belt separations) can go up by 20% or greater when you turn a sharp corner and your morning tire pressure will change by 2% for each change of 10°F. With o psi margin that means that every day you would have to adjust the pressure based on that days temperature. Not fun so why not include a "cushion" of +10 % so you would only have to add air if the temperature dropped 50°F.
Understand?

Why not just run the tires at the maximum recommended pressure and gain the full advantage of their weight carrying capacity? Of course, that would be the simple solution, without all the "caluclations and percentages" and would completely ignore the DOW 500.....
Maybe, just maybe, if you had some boudin for lunch, you'd understand "Cajun logic" but it appears you haven't yet indulged in such a feast..... Almost "sinful" Pauvre Bête
