When you see a tire pressure recommendation on the side of a tire, it's to keep the manufacturer from bring sued
When you see a tire pressure recommendation on a cycling website, it's very general to cover every situation and possibility
So what to do?
Fill your tire mid range on the side of the tire. Does it say 30-50? Then go 40
Is the total weight of rider and cargo higher, might consider going 5-10psi higher.
Bottoming out? add 5 psi
Harsh ride? remove 5 psi
Repeat until you're happy.
Getting the EXACT psi from google or even here is a fool's errand.
Ball park it, adjust as necessary.
