There's not just one PSI that's best...but 34-38 would be a safe range. I usually keep mine around 36.

Lower profile tires need a little higher tire pressure in most cases to prevent rim damage. Being a little wider helps prevent this somewhat. As mentioned, 34-36 is probably a good idea. Be sure not to exceed the the max pressure printed on the tire. Typically max is 40-45psi
