The air pressure inside your tires carries the weight of your plane. The PSI information listed on the side of your tires indicates the "cold" pressure rating for the tire; following the manufactures air pressure rating is required for good handling and durability.
Note: for every 10 degrees (F) change in ambient temperature; your tire's inflation pressure will change by about 1 psi (up with higher temperatures and down with lower.) The typical difference between summer and winter temperatures is about 50 degrees (F), which results in a loss of about 5 psi and will sacrifice handling and durability. Examples: ascending and descending from colder to warmer climates, rolling your plane out of a heated hanger and flying in the winter.

I have heard everything from 25 to 50 PSI
