Oh my god! Take it from someone who actually works in the tire industry - do not listen to the these people.
The only inflation information listed on the sidewall of the tire is the maximum safe inflation pressure. This is very rarely the same pressure that is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer and it is the vehicle manufacturers recommendation you should go by. The folks who made the tire have no idea what kind of car it might end up on, how then would you expect them to mold into the sidewall the correct inflation pressures for your car? Tires of the same size and load rating from different manufacturers also do not always have the same max inflation pressures. Some can top out at 35 psi, others can go as high as 51 psi. That's a huge difference.
The correct information can usually be found on a placard inside the drivers door frame, in the glovebox door and/or in the owners manual.
And from an official source:

The pressure on the sidewall is NOT the recommended pressure for your car, it's just a test pressure and not in the slightest relevant apart from by coincidence.
You're spelling tyre quite correctly, it's only the Yanks who can't spell . . .

The maximum Tire pressure should be written on the side walls of your tires. This is the maximum tire pressure that the tires are capable of supporting, and is the recommended tire pressure by the tire manufacturer, and used for optimum gas mileage.
Most automotive manufacturers also have a recommendation on tire pressure. This is usually engraved on a plate that is on the driver side door. This tire pressure is usually recommended by automotive manufacturers for maximum ride comfort.

Look on the sidewall for the correct pressure. Anyone who gives an answer on here is just guessing.
Why does everyone on here misspell tire?
