Tires are not manufactured for a specific car and therefore the tire manufacturer does NOT know the application/load the tire will be used on. Hence they refer you to the car manufacturer specified pressure usually on a sticker on the drivers door.

Yup, based on car weight and wheel.

I was just thinking if OP had XL tires and thought he can put 40 psi in there without bursting the tire lol
