Yep, Old-Biscuit nailed it. In my opinion the only real use for the yellow sticker is comparing rated payloads on the dealers lot.
Once that vehicle leaves the lot that number goes down with every item you add to the vehicle. The other tag that has been around for a very long time "the VIN" has very important information that many fail to understand. It has GVWR and individual Axle weight ratings. Both the Yellow and VIN have the minimum tire size to maintain the GVWR/Payload depending which sticker you are looking at.
The yellow does have the additional information of the Size and PRESSURE to carry the MAX payload.
I am assuming this is the one from Old-Biscuits Ram, you will notice the pressure stated is 65 psi on a LT 275/70-18E tire with a MAX sidewall pressure of 80 psi. The 65 psi will safely carry the load, and provide the best TRACTION and ride at max payload. If empty the rear pressures can be reduced.
Not from my 07 3500......just an example off internet
