35 PSI won't hurt it...that's like minimum! Also doesn't the tire give you the air pressure stats on it? what kinda tires?

yea just stay in the range of 30-35!

run them at 30-32. No need to go any higher (Unless your Autocrossing or road racing). The tire pressure you should run is determined by vehicle weight. I've run my 205/40-17s at 32 for as long as I've owned them. note that if you run too much or too little pressure you will cause un even wear on the tire. Oh ya, that PSI rating on the side of the tire, thats the MAX pressure the tire is rated for, not what you should run them at.
