it does not matter the size. pressure is pressure.
the question is, what is your altitude? sea level pressure is 30psi 3000 ft. (1000m) is about 32psi 5000 ft. (1500m) is about 33-34psi 7000 ft. (2100m) is about 34-35psi 10000 ft. (3050m) is about 36psi |

30psi? It really depends on the tire. I run Yokohama s.drive tires and they really need 35-38psi to wear evenly. And I'm almost at sea level.

I run 205/45R16 with 30-31psi front and 26psi rear. I usually make a chalk marl on the sides and drive the car on and off highway then look at the wear mark off the chalk. I then adjust accordingly + or -. |

I think the pressure depends more on the vehicle than on the tire or not?++ Because if a tire of a measurement, I use it in different cars, the weight changes therefore another pressure |

I was just starting with the door sticker setting and adjusting for loss of pressure due to altitude, but temperature and humidity can also make slight changes. here's a chart:
