If you read on the tire it says MAX tire presure. This is for the tire only. Not the vehicle it is on.
They test each model car and determine the tire size and what pressure should be run. If you're using the recommended tire it says for your car then run the recommended pressure.
If you get some butcher paper from your local meat store and lay it on a smooth concrete floor of a garage and drive over it slowly it will show you the pattern of your tire contact to the road.
If the pattern or imprint from the tire to the paper is consistent all the way across the width of the tire then you're good. If it shows contact on the paper only in the middle of the tire tread you have to much air pressure in the tire. If it shows only the outside edges of the tire to be touching on the paper you have too little air pressure in the tire.
If you haul heavy things you will want to put a little extra pressure in the tires, running an overlaoded tire is like running a low or flat tire.
There is wire in the sidewalls of tires. And you know what happens if you bend a wire a lot of times fast, it heats up and will eventually break. Well this is what happens to tires. The side walls become hot and weak then split open. They call this a zipper crack. That's why you have to be careful airing up a tire that has been run flat. It can kill you if it would explode and for that to happen it only takes no more than 20lbs of pressure in the tire.
I don't know if you ever seen or heard a tire explode, but I have and felt the results of it. When you come to you will wonder what body part you are missing if you can feel pain. I've seen some really bad cases in the "Head Trauma Center" in St. Louis Hospital, you wonder how some of these people lived after being hit by an exploding tire.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
