There should be little arrows on the sidewall and the roll over should not go beyond that. You can use a tire marker and paint on the tire from the sidewall onto the tread for more observation points. I think a safe place to start is 35f/35r and then adjust accordingly.

If you want to get more technical you get a tire temp probe and adjust accordingly to what your temps are. Then long term you look at the tire wear over the life of your tire and adjust accordingly. A lot of times your temps will say one thing while your tire wear will say another and then you make a compromise if you want better tire life.
thank you for you very in depth response. i know all the tires will be run different pressures and react differently but i was just wanting to see what others run and if it is higher then say the autoxers on 19's. i feel like im probably have to run atleast 40 in front as i know i get quite a bit of tire roll already just with aggressive daily driving. im not looking for an exact number. just wondering what everyone else is on.
