Most tire manufacturers will not suggest a pressure. They suggest following the recommendation of the vehicle manufacturer. Honda recommends 32 psi. I run at 34-36.

What I was trying to say is that if you run the Honda rec 32 in a tire that had a max press of 34 you would be close to the max rec pressure (and what I would run). If you ran 32 in a tire rated for 44 you would be underinflated (IMO).
To just say you run "x" pressure and not know what the max pressure of the tire is to me is not a valid comparison.
I always run mine close to the max sidewall pressure (cold). Doesn't give the best ride but for me it gives the best tread life, handling and fuel mileagae. Remember this is what I do, not saying everyone else should, just my opinion.
