Good tire pressure for someone in Michigan?

Hello I live in Michigan and was wondering what a good tire pressure would be for this summer. Id say the temps range from 50-80 F. What are some recommendations if there are any? Also, I have the standard wheels.

thanks so much!

If you had the OEM Dunlops, I had them aired up to 45psi with no problems and good FE.

I have had the Dunlops on the HCHII at max sidewall of 51 psi for the 12 months we have owned it.

One of the issues with air pressure is the ambient temperature and seasonal variances.

Here is a product that helps compensate for these seasonal variances.

Heh, just look at the other products they sell and I think you will know the answer. Where else can you buy Elbow Grease and Blinker Fluid?

I especially liked the "car lowering device" which appears to be a set of four nails in order to give your car four quick flat tires!!! Amazing that such a company actually exists (and even more amazing that people actually buy the stuff).
