Tire PSI Question

On my GXE Max, it came with the factory 15 inch honeycome wheels. I know under my middle console, it said to keep all the tires at 29PSI. I just upgraded to 18 inch wheels lately. I know I cant keep them at 29PSI anymore. On the tire itself, it says 44PSI. But I'm guessin thats max PSI. What do you guys recommend that I keep it at? Thanx...

dont run 44psi unless you want a super stiff ride...and uneven tire wear...

35psi should be a good compromise between protection of the rim, comfort, and even tire wear

Better to have them slightly overinflated than slightly under, 35 to 40 psi is a good range. I run my stock SE wheels and tires at 40 for a firmer ride and marginally better MPG.
