Exclamation confusing winter tire pressure recommendation

Hi guys, is it correct to use the winter tire pressure from the gas cap?
it's asking for max load of 42 front and 48 BACK!!! Isn't 48 too excessive as the tire itself has 50psi max lim?

I can see doing that if you have run flat winter tires because of stiff sidewalls. I have my 18" non run flat winters set for 36 all square.

If you are in North America look in the driver side door sill there is a sticker there. Follow that. For us in Canada its 39 psi all around I believe. I would not run those tire pressures listed on the gas cap in North America. Our roads are trash.
