Default Thread max tire pressure vs oem's recommended?

Okay, here is the dilemma. I recently purchase P215/70R15. The thing is this: When I was checking out the tires, the max tire pressure that appears in the thread states the MAX is 35psi however car manufacture recommends 35 psi on both rear and front tires. As many know, if I inflate the tires cold at 35psi and after running a couple of miles..it will increase and pass the max pressure state by the tire manufacture. I dont wanna see my tire pop (it did one long time ago cause it was as old one and its not a pretty feeling). So...which one should I follow here? Have them at 35 psi cold just like OEM states or I should have them around 30psi to keep them not reaching the max psi on the thread. Some help would be appreciated!

35 cold... The psi is gonna rise when you drive your car regardless, underinflated tires = disaster.
