Default Tire pressures

Just want to get an idea of what tire pressures you are running. We just "inherited" a '99 GT (42K miles) convertible. It has 245/45/17 Kuhmo tires on Cobra R rims. The tires were all nearly flat when I picked it up (been sitting for about 6 months). Max inflation for the tires is 44psi. Right now I have them set at 37 in the rear and 40 in the front. Ride and handling seem OK, though I can't say I'm much of a fan of the Kuhmo tires. Anyone on similar sized tires? What pressure you running them at?

Thanks!
Mark

I ran them at 32 for a day and the car was way squirrely. 40/37 handles A LOT better.
