Hello there.

I was reading the wording concerning where to get the suggested
pressure ratings and I believe you may consider changing from
"the
vehicle manufacturer's suggested pressure rating" to "the TIRE
manufacturer's suggested pressure rating". this is because there
may be a chance that the vehicle receiving service MAY NOT be
equipped with the same tires it left the factory with. They may
have replaced the tires with those from a different manufacturer,
and the tire size may also be different. If any of these
conditions
are prevalent, the recommended tire pressure rating may not be
consistent with the brand of tire that's on the car, leading to
improper inflation rates. However, the tire itself has the
suggested pressure rating on it, which is always correct for the
tire it's printed on.

Please feel free to contact me if any questions.

Thank you for your time.
