Does it not say on a sticker in the door jamb?

seems awfully low to me. I have only heard of 32 being the low.
Who else has a 2003 Jetta TDI and has checked into the tire pressure?

the centers of the tires wearing out faster then just reduce the PSI.

It isn't that I don't believe it. I wanted to know if other people
have experience with the tire pressure both with following the
gas door #'s and having them slightly higher. I was thinking I
was not reading them right.

pressure of 45 psi. I usually keep mine at 36 for regular city driving, but
when I hit the interstate for a long drive, I kick it up to 43 for better
mileage.

have 5424 lbs. of weight in it? 1356 per tire at maximum pressure
times 4 tires. Over inflated tires can wear out the enter of those
expensive tires prematurely and can cause undesirable handling
charateristics. Some performance driving instructors over in the tdi
or vortex have discussed the funky handling of overinflated tires.

Underinflation results in higher tire temperatures than overinflation.
That may aqppear counter-intuitive but it's true, nonetheless.

I wound up with 29 front and just over 30 in back and it seems to be fine. I
don't notice any sluggishness and the ride is ok. So, I think I found my
happy
medium.

That max tyre pressure will only tell you what is safe for that tyre.
It has no relationship to your car's needs. I am not saying what you end up
with is wrong, but you are not using a meaningful number to establish the
proper value.
