Yes, go with what the sticker has on it, not what the tire has on it. The max pressure on the tire is just that, the most pressure you can put into that tire. It is not saying that you should put that much into it. Also, on that sticker it should have the size tires you should have on your car. Make sure that the size that is on the car is what your sticker has. If the tires you have on the car are different, then you should call the manufacture of that tire and ask them what they recommend the tire pressure should be for your car with there size tires. But only do this if the size on your door and the size you have on the car are not the same.

Suggested Repair

Use the door-sticker cold tire pressure of 30 psi, not the 44 psi maximum molded on the tire. Confirm the installed tire size matches the sticker; if it does not, ask that tire manufacturer for the recommended pressure for this car.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1992 Ford Thunderbird needed the correct tire pressure without a manual. The door sticker listed 30 psi, while the tire sidewall showed a 44 psi maximum. Experts advised following the door sticker and treating the sidewall figure as a maximum only. They also said to verify that the tire size matches the sticker and contact the tire manufacturer if the sizes differ.
