Default need help on tire pressures

I was wondering if you guys could tell me a thing or two about tire pressures. I have an 88 CRX with adjustable konis and eibach springs. I've got 205 60 13s with Kumo V700s on them, and I was wondering what ballpark pressures I should be running for solo. Also, on the street, I have 175 70 13s with some cheapo bredgestones on them. Whenever I do some spirited driving, they squeal really loud. if I put some more air in the tires, would this help? thanks

*laughs* i used to be a dumb tire tech back in the days at sears...anyway, on your tires it should tell you to you put a certain amount of psi in it. usually if they're not performance tires you should never go above 35 psi. i usually would put 32 psi in each tire because once you get the car moving the air in the tire will heat up and expand. you don't want your tires too flat nor do you want them rock solid because you'll be getting premature wear.

tire temperature gauge is a handy tool. They're not to expensive and once you have one everyone will want to be your friend.
