The size generally is reflective of the load range. That is, when going from
a 235/65/15 (for example) to a 30/9.50/15, the size is esentially the same
(assuming I picked the right numbers from my ***), but the Load Range will
be different.

The higher load range tires can take more air pressure, but this does not
mean they demand more air pressure.

If the door jamb sticker gave the pressures for the equivelent of a 30"
tire, and one chose to use a 33" tire instead, then the door jamb
information might not apply anymore. But, if the sticker defined the
pressures for a metric equivelent of a 30" tire, and one opted to actually
use a 30" tire as a replacement, the door jamb sticker would be reasonably
close, even though the load range has changed.

I run a 32x11.50x15 at between 25 and 30 psi on the street. I run the same
tires at between 5 and 10 psi on the trail.

Not really. Perhaps for a given tire make or so, but not as any
general relationship. As is pretty much nothing related to a
particular tire generally related to all other tires.

Again not really. Some tires with a higher load capability only
need door pressure or a tad higher--since door pressure is typically
too low for maximal tire wear in the first place [with the disclaimer
that this is true for passenger cars and not necessarily for Jeeps].
Other high load range tires need a higher pressure due to the stiffer
sidewalls of that particular construction.

In the context of the original poster, never fill any tire to the numbers
printed on the sidewall.
