The "universal" PSI is the sidewall max, the safest pressure for the tire. Anything less is "under-inflated". When I go to the race track, I am well over 40 psi on my tires, and the placard in the door jamb is 28 psi. If I run the car's "recommended" pressure, I would roll my tires onto the sidewalls with the grip and G forces.
