I would say check your door jam, there's a sticker there that states the recommended TP (mine says 38PSI Front and 44PSI Rear) I try to keep mine as close to that as possible.

36f/41r - just like the owner's manual says for carrying 5 adults plus luggage. I get even tire wear and great feel of the road.
