I appreciate the fact that these questions are being raised and i understand the tires are a consumable product, but this tire was not worn out. As i said, this has been my experience, ongoing since December.
Tire pressure requirements don't necessarily change with tire size.

There is a date of manufacture on the tire that will tell you how old it is. They can be sitting in a warehouse for quite some time at a dealer before they get mounted.
