What tire pressure is ideal for the 2.2 stock tires?

Hey there fellas. For the past week I really began to notice my car felt sluggish. So I came home and took the tire pressure of the stock continentals. The all came to about 25 PSI. Is that too low? I tried looking for the door jam but apparently it didn't come with a door jam sticker
. So what do you 2.2 guys keep your continental tire pressure at?

Thanks a bunch.

32psi is the rule of thumb for most tires. I had a 2.2 before, I always kept it at 35, 25 is honestly too low, it will wear your tires quicker and you will lose gas milage

The sticker in the door jamb says to have the front and backs at 30psi so somewhere close to that would be best but I think 25psi is deffinately to low for daily driving.
