The sticker on the car says 30 psi for each tire. The tires have printed on them max 44psi. Would it be good to put 36 or 37 lbs. in each tire?
Or go by the sticker on the car door? Thanks
 
Go with what your car manufacturer recommends, they designed, build and extensively tested your vehicle. Only the car manufacturer knows the weight of your car and can give you the correct tire pressure. The tire maker gives you the MAXIMUM load rating and MAXIMUM tire pressure rating, this maximum has nothing whatsoever to do with the correct setting, the tire maker has no idea of the weight of your vehicle.
 
Go by what is on the tires. That is manufacturers inflation recommendations. Remember that is cold air pressure. Personally when it says 44psi max, I put 40psi in them. Hope this helps. If you under inflate them that increases excessive tire wear and also cuts into gas mileage.
