Never trust the air pressure from the dealer, especially if you have anything other than OE wheel/tires. On second thought, never trust the dealer air pressure, period.
My 20's seem best at 38f & 40r, with 45 being a bit too hard.

The gas cap tire pressure is solely for the tires/wheels that came on the vehicle when new, and not for any optional size tires.

maybe if something goes wrong the dealer would be at fault for not changing the sticker or at least telling me what the new psi should be set at. everytime i ask some one they usually go "its on the sticker," or "its in the owners manual." then i tell them i bought a lorinser model, they then say "its the same as oem," or "hold on for one second," and now all of a sudden were playing hide and go seek.
