Umm there isnt really.
Tyre pressures reccommended are usually a car factory advised thing designed to get the softest and quietest ride, usually at the expense of handling and life.

Rule of the thumb, with standard sized tyres, is to add between 5 and 10 PSI to whatever is reccommended by the CAR manufacturer.

For aftermarket tyres, the entire theory goes out the window. FWIT, I run about 30psi allround.

Best to ask the tyre companies.

I hate rolling resistance, so I use 40psi. I prefer how the car feels like that.

Prolly a bit much, but fuck it. I'll worry about the proper pressure when I get decent rubber.

Same as Kimmo, around 40's in the rear of everything I drive, and between 25-35 in the fronts depending on how much grip I am after
