My current tires have less than 4000 miles on them.

New tires came today! Not going to be mounted and balanced with my new rims until the 2nd...grrr...the wait!

Current tires are at sidewall max - 44 PSI. New tires are also rated at 44 PSI. Should I inflate my new ones to 50 PSI, 55 PSI, or 60 PSI? I don't care about the harsher/louder ride or tread wear since these tires were dirt cheap (on sale) and it'll be a LONG time before I ever put enough miles on them to need new tires.
