tyre pressure for low profile tyres?

Hey all,
i'm a bit new to the bling bling style of car and have no idea what tyre pressure to run.. apart from higher pressure than normal tyres..
tyres are Potenza RE-01R 215/45/17.. they have a VERY stiff sidewall and are very grippy atm, but i doubt you could tell if there was no air in there at all 
so anyway, trying to work out what pressure to run them at (before i get a decent IR pyrometer) for 'normal' driving, ie no track days, not so much highway use. Supplied they were around 40psi front and 38psi rear! is that normal? i was thinking maybe 34-36psi perhaps.. front/rear weight split is around 850/610kg i believe...
tried emailing bridgestone Aus, no reply as yet. local people are a bit hard to communicate with, but maybe i'll have to con someone to write an email for me 
i do have a decent digital tyre gauge, but it's a bit useless with no figures to aim for.. tried the "hand pyrometer" but with little success so far.
any suggestions?
TIA, Stewart
