On steel belted radials you can use any pressure from the car manufactures
rating to the tire manufacture's rating since the steel belt will keep the
tire flat and make it wear evenly if the cast and camber are correct.

On other tires all bets are off.  You have to adjust the pressure for
tire wear or your good handling will get very expensive.  Remember to
adjust the pressure for heavy loads to at least the car manufacturer's
rating for that load or you risk tire failure.
