When I bought tires from a tire distributor, they also recommended an
inflation pressure which was greater than the car manufacturer's.  In their
brochure, they said that the car manufacturer was more concerned with a
smooth ride so their recommended pressure was low.  The tire manufacturer is
more concerned with the tire life so their recommendation is higher.  The
way I see it, the tire manufacturer should know what's best for his tire.
