Max capacity. But folks on here put more air in ??
No I don't think so. The pressure on the side of the tire is the max to carry the rated load capacity of the tire. Most folks end up with lower than that number. You shouldn't exceed the sidewall number cold.
Correct.
Only reason to consider (improperly) doing this is that the actual weight exceeds tire capacity. If that is the case more air is NOT the answer. Selecting a tire with a higher load range IS the answer.
