Correct, as well as too high inflation pressures of 44 psi can cause the rims to dent very easily, (costly to replace), and suspension components like MacPherson struts to wear out prematurely, not to mention drivetrain components like CV joints/axle shafts, wheel bearings, tie rod ends, etc.
The correct recommended tire pressures will be listed in the owners manual or on the tire placard on the car which is a small white sticker showing the recommended tire inflation pressures. The tire placard can be usually found on the end of the drivers door where it latches to the car when you shut it, (or one of the other doors), inside the trunklid, the glove box or even on the backside of the fuel door.
I hope this has been of assistance. Take care, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
