the "right" psi

I checked in the FAQ post, but i didnt quite get the answer i was looking for.

if they are different...which tire preasure number should be used? The one listed in the owners manual of the CAR or the one on the TIRE itself?

The pressure on the tire is the maximum recommended pressure for that tire. The pressure on the car is the recommended pressure for the tires on that car. Therefore, you should use the p.s.i. listed on the car, not on the tires. Personally, I run 30 psi all around.
