Tire pressure question

Actually RustyRatRod I speak from over 40 years retail experience working for tire manufacturers .
You never "wing it" on tire pressure. Number #1 cause of tire failure. I have been involved with 2 major tire recalls in 1978 and again in 2000 in which millions of tires were replaced primarily because the Vehicle manufacturer recommend their "own pressures" based on comfort, not load and most people never give the air in their tires a second thought until someone tells them their tire is low or they get a flat.
We found that the average tire pressure when people came in to replace their tires was 18 lbs.
The law is now to install the vehicle placard pressure. The customer may change that but it is never recommended or done "for the customer"
We are supposed to be the experts. Why would you endangerer the safety of a customer and open the company you work for open to liability if there ever was a problem. The first thing their lawyer will say is, But my client is not an expert...
What if you did oil changes and the customer told you how much oil he wanted. Would you put in a quart more or a quart less because "that is what the customer wanted?" or would you use your own common sense and educate him on why he shouldn't do that.
The customer isn't always right...
