Why do some cars have a different, typically lower, air pressure for the front tires versus the back tires on the door jam sticker?
For example, my 2004 Grand Marquis' sticker states Front 32 psi, Rear 35 psi.
Isn't there more weight on the front tires normally?

Stick with the manufacturer's recommendations on the door jamb sticker. They had office buildings full of engineers figure these things out.

It's more about tire shape and handling, than weight.
- smoother ride
- larger contact patch = better traction
