Just ordered in tires a day ago for my 2014 Chrysler 300 - some Firestones. I had them installed today & they really felt pumped-up so I checked the pressure when I got home. The installer had them inflated to 43-44 lbs. I always thought the rule was around 32 psi for a regular set of tires on a car, so I adjusted them all down to 35 psi.
What do you guys keep your daily driver tires inflated to?

What do you guys keep your daily driver tires inflated to? The rule is to inflate them at the PSI specified on the door jamb sticker.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I typically run 32 PSI in most of the cars, generally sticking to the higher #s posted on the sidewalls. Some combinations of tread & rim width want more or less to get the full footprint, so I've run as high as 40 in some cases. I assume stock sizes on stock rims on a DD, which means stock PSI, aka door jamb sticker.

I just had a set of Kumho XL's mounted last week at my local Firestone. I have used them for five sets of tires and they usually set the tire psi to what is on the door. This set they had them all at 40psi and I felt it on the drive home. After a quick couple of chalk tests, I lowered the pressure down to 36 front and 34 rear.

I really like DDs, especially firm ones. Har-de-harr-harr! Honey, if I told you you had beautiful DD's, would you hold it against me?
