It depends on the tyre. Then it also depends what kind of suspension you have. If its just a normal road tyre I'd start with 35 PSI.

work your way from there according to taste of comfort.

yep.
ive also got that same size tyre. hasd a couple different brand tyres in that size on my 5.

with each tyre 35psi has been the best.
less than 35 was a bit squirmish.
over 35 was a bit skiddish.

If you run too high a pressure you'll chew out the inside edge of your tyres. Keep an eye on them.
