Short Answer:

The relationship between tire size and load carrying capacity is independent of the manufacturer.  If the placard says to use 33 psi for the OE tire size, then if you do not change tire size, that pressure applies to a different manufacturer.

However, some folks think you should use a different pressure - for various reasons.  So you may find some differences in what people recommend - but it has nothing to do with the differences between manufacturers, per se.
