I believe this would apply if your carrying a fix weight and running 20% less than recommended pressure for that weight another words you have low air pressure in your tire for a given weight carried. Most tire manufactures have a weight/inflation guide to keep you safe in your travels.
Like my wife`s car it says tires run at 30lbs at the max the car can carry (this would be factory sticker) but the tire says max lbs of 44 which is 32% of tire inflation maximum. This dose not mean it`s running under inflated with the weight it can carry.
