Default Track Tire Pressure

I have the OEM 18" Track tires. What is the recommended PSI?

I was thinking 32-36 all the way around. This is for a 2500 mile road trip I am taking in a few days. Just trying to get everything fine-tuned before the big trip.

Also a dumb question here, but you do check your tires when they are cold, correct?

It just seems that if you fill them when they are cold, more pressure builds when they get hot, thus increasing the PSI of the tire.

Thanks for any advice.

The manual and the bottom of the door to the drink holders in the center console say 35psi when cold.

Thanks, I have never seen that near the cupholder's. I'll have to see if I have that sticker.

Thanks again.

I normally leave my tire pressures at 33 cold for the front, and 32 cold for the rear. I do this because as the tires heat up, the pressure will rise up to 37-40 (depending on how I'm driving or how hot the pavement is that day).

If they're supposed to be 35psi cold, I would think that the manufacturer would have designed the tires to run at 37-40... no?
