??? about 235/45/17 psi on stock rim

I've got the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 235/45/17 on stock rims and am wondering about what the proper inflation pressure should be. I got the canned response from Pirelli to follow the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines but 32psi seems too soft.

What are the rest of you running and what made you reach the conclusion that that was the proper pressure?

Thanks all!

I'm been considering these tires in this size as well. Do you have any problems with the tramlining (following of the grooves) that others have reported about this tire?

A big YES! Will follow any and all road imperfections. The tires are not fully broken in yet and it has been getting marginally better. This is more of an issue for people who live out in Cali since their highways are rain grooved. The tramlining I'm getting is occasional on warped concrete roads which is unfortunately common in south Brooklyn. I must add that it's really not very forceful, but I definitely feel it and need to correct.

Damn, 36 psi? I have the Sumitomo HTR+ 235's and was running about 33 psi and had to go down to like 31 because the center was wearing to fast.
