I use 35-36 psi all around, as I prefer the harder ride and better gas mileage - cold, as they heat up they go up about 3 psi.

I keep them at the recommended 32 cold. As previous poster said, once they warm up, they're running about 35-36.

Acura has already done all the testing necessary to get the best performance with OEM specs. The tire pressure is stated on the sticker on the door frame.

32 psi is typical. I have run 30psi on the RDX for 4 months now and will go up to 32 now. A hard core fanatic I know runs 35 on his Toyo Proxes 1’s and insists that this is the proper psi for a high performance tire on a Honda.
Running to low will cause excessive heat and feather the edge of the tire. Running to high will give a rough ride and cause more wear in the center rib.
Go with 32psi. (19" HPT on our TL is 37psi-Front 32psi-Rear)
