Because if your car's engine is mounted on the front,overinflated tires would become bald very fast and have a higher risk of exploding.

Usually the front tire is rated higher because the engine is in the front and you add about two psi per tire to adjust for the added weight.
Your car might be a rear engine car which would be a good reason for it.
Or you might have two different size tires like on a corvette or honda s2000.

On newer front wheel cars a lower psi. on the front allows for better handling, and a smoother ride. The front wheel drive cars
have most of the weight in the front. This puts more stress on the front tires.

Check the inside of the drivers door for the recommended PSI. For optimum fuel efficiency, tire longevity as well as a comfortable ride.

as always, more information is needed. is it a truck? are you towing or hauling heavy loads. if your front tires are load range C and your rears are D or E, of course they would recomend a higher pressure on the rear. do you have low profile tires? what is the max pressure they can handle? sometimes car manufacturers recomend different pressures for front and rear. are we talking 2psi or 15psi difference? with all of this unknown, and we are talking about a stock car. i would say the reason the dealer is telling you this is its the recomendation of the manufacturer.

All tires are inflated the same unless the manufacturor suggests ohter wise because of the weight distribution of the engine, transmission etc.

becouse slight difrence of air presuer makes a good grip on the roads when u turns and a jurk load comes on the front wheels when we brake our vehical it obsorb some suspansion.
Rear wheels takes a load direct so they run on the same presur.

As far as I know, with radial tires it's all the same! Never heard of front and rear pressures with radials.

Look in your door, normally you can find there the correct PSI and just use this.
