When such questions arise I often wonder how does the door sticker know what tires are on the vehicle if the OEM tires have been replaced by another make/model tire?
It knows because the tire size is listed there as well, and the load carrying capacity for a given size is standardized by the tire standardizing organizations, such as the Tire and Rim Association.
