I've gone higher then that in the front.

Yous could use that as a starting point and use the tried and true show polish method of fine tuning the pressures. The idea is to keep the tire from rolling onto the the sidewall. So dab some show polish along the edge of the tread and side wall in 3-4 spots on each tire. If the shoe polish disappears you need more air. If none of it goes away you could drop the pressure some.
