Tire pressure is mainly based on weight. And it is clearly marked in side the drivers door sill. you may as an option increase that designated psi by 1 or 2 lbs if you like.

^no. the sidewalls tell you the MAXIMUM pressure allowed to safely operate the tire.
our pressure is somewhere along the lines of 30-32psi

^^^^^^^ that is correct... just run 33 or 34 with a tire like that running 32 might be a little to soft and then you run the risk of a nice blowout off a pot-hole well actually reguardless a tire like that will suffer from anything but smooth *** roads. good luck
