You will need to check the side wall of your tire to make for certain what the max rating is on your specific tire, but you have a few option especially if they are Z rated tires. If you want good gas milage, you should run at the max PSI rating for the tire. If you want to get a better ride and still have good gas milage as well as a little better grip, go with about 4 PSI less. And lastly, if you want to just get better grip on take off, go with about 7 PSI lower then the max rating. Most of those tires have a rating of 45 PSI max, but you need to check your tire because they do differ and running outside of the tire rating can be dangerous, leading to quicker tire ware and/or a catastrophic failure (blow out).

Post the exact brand and tire rating if this is not enough information.

The label on my 2004 Mystichrome coupe's door says, 32#/32#, front & rear, for those Goodyear F1 tire sizes.
