For most cars the correct info is in the owners manual, but also there should be a decal either on the glovebox door or the driverside doorjam. DO NOT READ IT OFF THE TIRE! That is wrong 99% of the time! The pressure indicated on the tire is the pressure required for the tire's MAXIMUM load rating. Most car do not load the tires anywhere near that weight. Also, a "radial" tire (most all are) when it is properly inflated, will bulge the sidewall next to the pavement. This is normal. Many people try to add air to make it go away. Not good, less traction and rougher ride.
