Default How much Pressure is recommended in my tires?

Hey quick question guys...not really sure how much PSI should I put in my tires? I have a 2002 Honda Accord Lx, with factory hubcaps. The reason I'm asking is b/c I just got a nail in one of my tires...on the side, and I had to buy a new tire...they said they cant plug it from the side. Well, thanks for the help!!

It should say on a sticker on the driver's side door or in that general area. But 35 sounds right.

Well in the winter you can ride the tire pressure a little bit lower to enable better traction, because the tires won't be as hard allowing them to grip the road better on slippery roads. Since I no longer have stock tires, I keep my PSI just below the max. because that helps the tread last longer on street racing tires.
