It really depends on your driving style. More air will help in handling but the ride will deteriorate so you can experiment with different pressures. Start with the door sticker numbers and go up from there.

It also depends on the tires rubber compound. Some tires are harder than others. For my F1's, I like 30 front and rear. It gives me the best tire wear and best all around ride.
