Why would Goodyear print a table for PSI if lowering the PSI damages your tires?

I went from Chinese D's to Endurance E's on a FW that has 8400lbs on 4 tires, 2100/tire. The Load/Inflation table states the MINIMUM pressure for that load should be 50lbs. The MAXIMUM pressure for the tire is 80lbs.
I initially inflated the E's to 75 lbs and it was like riding on basketballs. I ran the D's at 65lbs so I lowered the E's to 65 lbs and they rolled like silk.
