Tire pressure in E rated tires question

I just installed some Goodyear E rated tires. What tire pressure would you guys run for everyday driving. I rarely carry a load. Thanks!

If they have a max pressure of 65, run them at 45. If the max pressure is 80, run them at 50.

No load tire pressure will be less than other wise. I agree with kingfish51, but you should check tires for wear after running them at those pressures then adjust to lower pressure if the wear is uneven. The tires should have more pressure in the front than the rear, example max rating of 80 lbs/square inch would follow this recommendation 50 pounds for the front and 45 pounds for the rear. This is do to engine weight.
