The statement that the sticker pressures apply ONLY to the original tires didn't sound right, so I put the question to Goodyear's tech advice email...here's their reply:

"...as long as you have the same size tires....the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. The max pressure stamped on a tire has no bearing as to how much air you should use (as long as you don't exceed the max). The same tire may be utilised on any number of different vehicles, and the 'correct' amount of air can vary from vehicle to vehicle. The analogy that is often used is the max pressure on a tire is similar to the max speed on the vehicle's speedometer, in that it may never ever be required...."
