   Arlen Holder:   
      
   Thanks for preaching to the choir, as the saying goes, with that   
   Empire State Building tall trove of information regarding the maximum   
   tire pressure listed on tires.   
      
   You and I both know and understand most of it.  But for every two of us,   
   there are 198 others that DON'T.  That means 99 IGNORAMUSES PER   
   every Arlen, and 99 CLUELESS DIMWITS for every 'K-Man', that don't   
   know and probably don't care.   If the majority of people don't even know   
   how to vote for a president, why would we expect them to know which -   
   the vehicle placard, or the tire - contains appropriate pressures for   
   their vehicle??  Your expectations of what the average person knows,   
   about anything, are above altitudes beyond which one can safely breathe   
   without supplemental oxygen.   
      
   Again: it is for that vast majority of Ignoramuses and Clueless Dimwits   
   that I recommend not including any inflation pressures on consumer   
   tires.  Instead, stamp literature into the sidewalls instructing people   
   where to obtain proper inflation pressures for a variety of applications   
   with the specific vehicle the tires were put on.
