Let's try this again:
The correct cold tire pressure is on a placard on most car's B-pillars, right near one's butt in the driver's seat!

All my cars have a suggested tire pressure sticker on the inside of the glove box door. There's nothing in the door pillar area at all.

I grew up believing that using the max pressure molded into the tire gave you better mileage at the expense of a firmer ride and see no reason to change my mind. I'm also in disagreement about the "new tires go on the rear" school of tire replacement. Having only ONE blowout in my life (front left side, pickup truck full of motorcycles and toddlers) I can't rely on my own experience, but that just seems WRONG.

I think setting the pressure halfway between door/glovebox sticker and the max on the tire is still preferable to your basketball on wheels(!)

I suspect that procedure applies mostly to front-wheel drive cars, with more unequal Front-Rear weight ratios - 55/45, 60/40, etc.
