TireRack.com lists a MAX tire pressure.  Check the sidewall of the tire for MFR suggested tire pressure.

Cold pressure is the recommended pressure, as stated on inside of the driver door jam. When you drive the car the tire pressure will increase as you drive the car, therfore tire pressure should be taken in the morning while the tires are cool. You can have pureogen put in your tires which is about 90% nitrogen. Nitrogen does not heat and stay's a constant temp which is good on the tires, NASCAR uses nitrogen filled tires just for that reason and they can add or remove one pund at a time to change handling.
