    For what type of driving? What tire compound? For grip? For best tire wear? Otherwise your answers will be all over the place.

    Ditto ... been doing that for years ... regardless of vehicle ... use the recommendation inside the driver's door and add 2 lbs.

    The psi rating is displayed on tire sidewall.

    Do not go on the rating on the tire. That is maximum PSI only. Go off the drivers side door jamb. For a little better handling 2 PSI more is good. Anymore and you will end up hurting performance and wearing the tires quicker in the middle.
    If I can help let me know.
