Hi Henry.

I can not comment on the correct inflation pressure for those tires but, 
you should be able to find the correct answer at this link: 
<http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=38> then use 
the pull down for all of the technical articles relating to tire pressure.

Good luck & safe travels.
