Here is a NHTSA reference that tells the reader straight out who is responsible for setting correct tire pressures. Remember, correct and recommended tire pressures are synonymous.

I post this reference because it makes it very clear that tire manufacturers DO NOT set tire pressures.

Almost all load inflation tables found on the internet are without instructions. That’s because they were written for the tire industry at large. On the same line, using scaled weight in conjunction with load inflation tables is also almost always without instructions. The key instruction missing is when using load inflation tables to adjust tire pressures is to NEVER use less than the recommended tire pressures found on the vehicle labeling or it’s owner’s manual.

Vehicle tire pressures all revolve around the same regulations and the procedures remain consistent across all designs.
