You heard correctly...now, go try it! How much do you pump them up? What are they now? If they were mine, I would put in 40 psi ( cold) to start. Worn, damaged tires are "riskier" than newish tires. New tires ( fresh tire cord) get 44 psi (cold). Aged tires get less, since their tire cord adhesion qualities are questionable. Seven years is a "rule-of-thumb" age for tires to become "old".
