Maximum pressure. At that pressure, the car will be most fuel efficient and
tire wear will be minimized.

Look on the passenger side back door or jamb. The size & inflation
chart is over there...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> look at the door sticker
That was helpful. According to Ford, the stickers are supposed to be
permanently affixed to the car in one of three places: on the door, on the
pillar, or in the glove box.

Sorry, I was wrong. I misread your post.
Please look in your owner's manual, in the glove comparment where there may
be a sticker or on your door sticker.

It's a balance. Keep in mind higher pressure = more noise, slight
reduction in maximum adhesion. Lower pressure = more sidewall
deformation and handling that's not quite as "sharp". Plus slightly
accelerated tire wear.
what do you want to do with the car? Highways or pothole riddled city
streets?

Many shops default to 32 psi for most cars.
Stickers tend to range from 26-32 for the tires that the vehicle came
with. Does it have the exact same tire the car was sold with?
