manufacturer.

You're usually better going with a number from the truck's manual, if there
is such a number. Sometimes there is a recommendation on the door jamb or
inside the hood if you can't find one in the book. There recommendation on
the side of the tire is a recommended MAXIMUM. This isn't always the best
number.
