I was alway taught that the way to inflate your tires is to (1) calculate the load on the tire (and usually front and back are different); (2) divide #1 by the maximum load allowed by the tire mfr; (3) calculate the proper inflation by multiplying this fraction times the maximum pressure allowed by the mfr.
Example: load on the front of a vehicle is 3000 pounds. Each tire is therefore loaded to 1500 pounds. Maximum allowed load on the tires is 1700 pounds. Maximum allowable tire pressure is 55 psi:
Calculation: (1500 / 1700) * 55 = 48.5 psi.
