Default tire pressure recommendations

i drive a '96 accord LX sedan, and i have been messing around with tire pressures a little bit, but still would value any informed input on the subject. i have all stock suspension, but am going to put on front and rear upper strut bars very soon, as well as a rear lower tie bar. i have the stock steel wheels, 15". i have all season michelin radials, sized 185/60r15. what kind of pressures should i be running in order to find the best daily driven balance between handling and treadlife?

I would just keep the PSI at the factory recommended specs. You should get the handling and gas mileage your looking for.
