38psi in mine. If your car is aligned properly tire wear is the best indicator of what to run.

Wow i was running 26-28 i just put mine up to 32. My T/A say on the tyre max 35 psi.
Car now rides harder with 32 psi.

Yes, with these heavy cars you need to bump up the tyre pressure. 35psi works well for me.
With 28 they're underinflated.

I think a lot of it has to do with tire construction. I always used to run 32 but the sidewalls of my current set of tires  are too soft and make for a squishy ride

The original sticker for my Charger (15" wheels F70-15 redline tires) had 26psi for normal loads and 28psi for max loads! These were bias-ply, of couse.

i run what it says the max cold psi is on the side of the tire. i do this on all my cars.

If the edge of the tread is lifted off the pavement you are over inflated , easy to check with a piece of paper .  Generally the max pressure is for higher loads than your car will see empty & will wear the center of the tread faster 4-5 lbs under max is usually about right .

I run 32 PSI as well. Less air like 30 PSI rides nicer though.
