You can tell if they are as low as 25lbs, and no one with sense would over pump their tires by 20-30lbs.

These tires are tall enough the sidewalls flare at less than 36psi. I could tell by looking at my front left tire it was low. I went to the pump and it was indeed 4-5lbs low. I brought it up to 40psi, which is what Sears filled it to when they installed them.

I assumed we were talking to people that aren't stupid about tires.
