NEVER inflate your tires to the max PSI listed on the sidewall of the tire. Just inflate them to 35 PSI if you have OEM tires and be done with it.

If you're carrying a particularly heavy load you might increase it maybe 2 or 3 PSI. I personally go up to 38 sometimes for a long road trip to get slightly better mileage, but not permanently.

Also depends on how much negative camber your running. I used run mine on the low side to preserve the tire since I had quite a bit of negative camber.
