Default Tyre Pressures

Placard on door has lots of numbers and arrows, but makes no sense to me.

I have always found 32psi with no load 34psi with load as being the right combination each to their own but my tyres wore evenly at these figures

I run 40 at front, and 39 at back.... have done a little less at the back since i started driving a front wheel drive, seemed to turn in a little better... ? Ride is still VERY Good, except on dirt roads..... The Bridgestone RE001's that i have on it, i think can go to 46PSI all around....

I've tried a few different pressures in various FWD cars, and I keep coming back to the 36-38 range. Although for a long-ish drive, I will set them to about 40 all around.
If it is me, I will run the fronts a bit higher than the back (say) 38F, 36R. But these days, my wife drives my car (or shall I say *her* car?) mostly. So I just tell her to set it to 38 all around
