Post Tire pressure-adjust according to tire or car specs?

I just put on a set of SC430 rims. Should the tire pressure be kept at the specs of the tire....or of my car, SC400? I think car specs is 32 psi, while tire is alot more.

I think the tire pressures are vary from the thickness of your tires...........18's should be at around 40-42 psi

Default Tire Pressure

If the upsize was done correctly there should be about the same volume of air and therefore you would run exactly what the door jam says to run. The tire sidewall lists the maximum inflation pressure before the tire is in danger of rapid deflation

Inflation Pressure
