Start at 18 lbs, that should get you close. Theoretically you want to run as much air in them as possible. I run mine between 16 and 20.

The best way I've heard to get the ideal pressure in a radial tire is by looking at the contact patch.
Find a clean piece of concrete where you can lay a set of tracks. (Asphalt works to but can be harder to read.)
If the tracks are darker in the middle and lighter on the side than the pressure is too high. Darker on the side and light in the middle means it's to low. Look for a nice even patch that's uniform all the way across.
Please find a place where you can do it safley and legally.
