Default Tire Pressure 16" OEM vs 17" Replacements

I picked up a set of take offs from a 2013 Accord. Rims and tires are basically new. Old rims were 16" steel. New tires are Michelin Primacy mXV4 215/55R17 on aluminum alloy rims.

What tire pressure should I run? How is that determined?

Thanks

Look on the sidewall of the tire. It has the recommended pressures shown there.

Tire side walls show max pressure not recommended pressure, 32psi is what you should run.

Sidewall shows maximum pressure at maximum load. That is not the pressure to be run.

btw you realize your tire size won't be close to spec with that aspect ratio... just don't want you to notice later... Also you speedo will be off due to incorrect tire size.
