Default Tire pressure differential question

Hey guys, this is probably going to seem like a stupid question to most of you, but I was wondering what is the acceptable tire pressure differential between both front tires. Not the front vs back.

I was looking at my TPMS gauge and it seems one of my front tires is 34 and the other is 37. Is this range acceptable?

Thanks in advance.
By the way, I did do a search. I found alot of posts with the front vs back differential but nothing on lateral differential.

you shouldn't have a difference in pressure between left and right. that'll just cause the car to pull one way.

unless you're on a track and are matching hot tire temps that result in a difference when the tires are cool.

For normal street driving, better to have same pressures on both sides. Front and rear might be different, but should still be the same side to side.

For the track, anything goes. I used to have different pressure settings for every corner, and I could feel when one tire was off by 1 psi.

The closer togrther the better but I doubt three lbs will make much difference. But I would find a tire pump before to long.
