tire only tells you max psi, not correct psi for each application

What does it say on the sticker inside the drivers side door?

That would be the wrong place to look. The tire only shows the
MAXIMUM allowable pressure and not the safe, appropriate and
normal pressure for the tire.

The ideal pressure is on a sticker on your drivers side door. This is
developed by the engineers from all the design characteristics and handling
characteristics of your car.

==================

....Bearing in mind that it's a COLD pressure, so if you drive five miles
(on a warm day) to the gas station, you may have to inflate to a value
about 6 psi HIGHER. It's explained in the Owner's manual.

In Alberta, at this time of the year, almost every pressure measured is
a COLD pressure :-)

And some of those design characteristics are undesireable.
The Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid both have door stickers asking for
30psi on tires rated at 44psi max.
That makes for a nice, quiet, cushy ride with awful handling.

My neighbor kept his Prius at 30psi and wore out his first set of tires at
8000 miles. I adjusted mine to 35, 40, 44, and decided that 35 was the
pressure that I wanted, based on ride harshness, handling, and road noise.
At 39,000 miles I replace my original Bridgestones with Coopers and set the
pressure to 38psi.
