Maximum Tire pressure (a police perspective)

I have driven large RWD cars most of my life, although not quite as heavy
as a cop Crown Vic.
I would never put more than 40 PSI in the tyres.

as long as they are stock size tires I'll only put what the it says on the car, NOT what it says on the tire.

So on my SUV with 10-ply rear tires, I should ignore the 75PSI the manufacturer
specifies? Why?

An SUV with 10 ply tires is not a car.

Brian Gordon:

75psi - tire placard or door post?

Door post and Owners' Manual

My Uncle Ralph claimed that you could never put too much air into a tire,
that you just hook up the pump, and you pump and pump until no more air will
go in and then it's correct.

He died of old age a decade ago, surprisingly. I was expecting him to die
in some horrible highway accident involving exploded tires...

there are many reasons to ignore the door sticker for tire pressures,
but going over 40 lbs without a weight reason is probably not wise,
dollar wise. KB
