Default Quick question about tire pressure?

hey guys i was just wondering what is good for tire pressure. I never really knew exactly what it should be. At a Auto-X track its 30 front and 28 rear but what about just for city driving? thanks!

What is your exact tire size? The door sticker I think refers to only the stock tire size.

I have 275/35/18 Eagle F1 DSG3s and I usally run them at 42lbs all around. Right now they are at 35 and everything feel so much softer haha. But the tires wear funny if they are below roughly 38ish lbs

I had 315/35/17 Nitto drag radials on a 10.5 rim and at 30 lbs. the center wore out quicker than the edges. I think 26 or 27 would have made them last longer.
