Hello umassrob,
And thanks for your question.
The actual tire mounted on a car does not dictate the pressure
required. It is important that the tire is rated for the load it will
bear and the speeds it will be driven. If it meets these requirements,
it will use the factory recommended tire pressure.
Every tire shows a maximum inflation on the side wall of the tire.
That number represents just that, the maximum inflation the tire is
capable of holding in normal use. In most cases, a tire is never used
at its maximum inflation rating. In no case should that ever be
exceeded.
All of that being said, a car manufacturer will actually be the one to
determine the proper tire inflation and it will often differ front to
back as each axle may be carrying different weight loads. These
numbers are commonly found on the car frame at the driver's door when
it is open and / or in the owner's manual.

, for the Easy Inflation Wand. They show:
Altima Years 2000-1993 All Models Front 30 Rear 29
This sounds accurate and is in keeping with cars of this class,style
and general weight range such as the Honda Accord, for example. Be
sure to check your tire pressures when cold, and never bleed a hot
tire down to the recommended pressure as pressure will diminish as the
tire cools.
I trust this has answered your question.
