Isn't the max psi listed on the tires themselves? I tend to run mine at 35psi or higher depending on the limit marked on the tire. Most list a max of 40psi. I'd say stick to around 35-40psi unless you're doing a trackday or drag racing where your tires are going to heat up significantly and increase the pressure of the air inside the tires.

Some peopel run a really low psi for doing wheelies, but I've never needed to run 15-20 psi for stability because I've practiced my butt off on one wheel with the standard pressure. Its a bit twitchier and possibly dangerous for the inexperienced, but also makes wheelies a lot easier to steer once you're hoisted.

Alright, another S3 and Magna rider!

I don't know what people recommend for pressures, but the manual for my 2003 S3 lists 32 psi front and 42 psi rear.
