The source is the Tire and Rim Association, so it should apply to all manufacturers.
I already stumbled on this article, and it shows at the bottom of page 1 that the pressure most think is the maximum is in fact the minimum required presure for the maximum load.
TRA allows even 10 psi for LT tires above that, and for truck tires even 20 psi above that maxloadpressure as I saw it called also.
so dont be afraid to go over the fi 80 psi if that is the pressure printed on the sidewall ( E-load/10plyrating).
for topic starter this all is not the issue.
Page 2 even gives at lower speed 9% addition above maximum load without highening up the pressure.
