Most manufacturers' ATV tires are designed to run at a low pressure gauge, between three and ten P.S.I.
When mounting, never exceed the pressure listed on the sidewall for bead seating. With a stubborn tire, it may be necessary to release the air & re-lube the beads a couple of times before the beads will seat correctly. If in doubt, take the tire to a professional.
For best performance, you'll need to do some experimenting. Many riders will run higher pressures for hard surfaces. This lowers rolling resistance for a higher top speed, but it will also decrease your ride quality and increase wear in the center of the tire, making it more susceptible to impact damage.
Running at a lower than recommended tire pressure increases footprint; which, under most conditions, will also increase traction. However, under inflation can also cause premature tire failure (from excessive sidewall flex), sidewall and tread cracking, and possibly bent rims. Excessively low pressure also runs a higher risk of popping the tire bead off of the wheel, which will bring your ride to a sudden end.
I recommend starting at the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure and then adjusting up or down a single P.S.I. at a time until you find what works best for your riding style and conditions. On the rears, you'll be looking for the setting that provides the best traction and ride, but in my opinion, the fronts are the most important. Too low of a pressure will make your quad track poorly and turn like a tank. It is common to run different pressures from front to rear, but you should always have the same pressure from side to side on the same axle. A difference as small as one P.S.I. between tires that are sharing an axle can cause the machine to pull to the side with the lower pressure. Keep in mind that this is very subjective area. Each rider will find their own sweet spot at a different pressure for the given terrain.
Yes there most certainty is a limit to the amount of air that can be pumped into a bicycle tire. Put too much air in the tire and it will explode. The maximum air pressure for the tire is listed on the sidewall of the tire.

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) generally use low tire pressures to add traction. While tire pressure may be minimal, ATV tires can begin to gradually leak over time. These slow leaks can lose up a good amount of air over several weeks. Do-it-yourselfers can fix these small leaks in a matter of moments. It's important to carry an ATV all-purpose repair kit for these types of situations. If you get a hole or leak in your ATV tire, use the repair kit to fix it fast.Step 1Examine the ATV tire for foreign objects. Once you have found the problem, pull the object out of the tire or push it into the tire. Locate the hole that will need to be patched.Step 2Determine if the ATV tire has a leak. Pump air to 10psi and cover the hole with soapy water. If bubbles appear from the site of the hole, the tire has a leak.Step 3Remove the rough reamer from the ATV all-purpose repair kit and clean the hole. Put a plug into the insertion tool and force the plug to puncture the hole. Ensure that the plug is secure to prevent future leaks.Step 4Remove the excess plug by cutting it off. Pump air back into the ATV tire until it has reached its desired firmness. Avoid putting too much air into the tire, as this may cause the ATV to slide. Too little air can increase traction.Additional TipsSlow leaks in an ATV tire can be difficult to find. It may take several minutes to form a single soap bubble at the site of the leak. Shaving cream can be used as an alternative to soapy water, as it is more dense and will detect bubbles more easily.Valve leaks on ATV tires are the most common type of problem that occurs. Keep the valve stem cap screwed onto the tire tightly to prevent dirt from entering.Commercial tire sealants are also available, but however, not generally recommended for this type of repair. These products can cause damage to tire rims. Always follow manufacturer warnings and recommendations.

Its not a matter of the type of car but the type of tire. Look on the outside of the tire and there will be an area with the max load and max air pressure. Jonathon
A 'G' rating on a light truck tire means only that is a 14 ply tire. The weight capacity is dependent on the air pressure you put into the tire..
