with a typical passenger tire, the max cold pressure is 35 psi. for a slightly more "comfortable" ride, many people opt for 32 psi cold, which is the absolute minimum that these kinds of tires should be run at. its about a 10% difference in psi.
with performance tires, of course, the pressures are, by necessity, going to be higher. but again, the 10% rule applies. if the max pressure is, say, 45 psi, you can reduce it by 10% for a slight comfort improvement. so from 45, you can drop to 40-41. but dont go any lower than that.
remember, both under and over inflation will wearout a tire prematurely, sometimes with catastophic results. keep the psi in that 10% zone at all times.
also remember to make these adjustments with tires that are not hot from driving. adjust pressure BEFORE driving, not after.
