Modern tires are designed to operate at higher pressures.
Some manufacturers have a chart showing recommended tire pressures for the load they will carry.

If you're really anal about it, start off with 32-35 PSI and measure the tire temperature after a drive. If the center of the tire is hotter then the edges decrease pressure and vice versa if the edges are warmer.
That should put you in the ballpark.
