I just bought new Michelin XH tires for my not-very-sporty
1980 Chevrolet Malibu, and the guy who installed them told
me to keep the pressure at 34-35 pounds cold.  That's the
pressure listed on the sidewall as maximum.  I've always
kept my tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommendation
printed in the manual and the door sticker (which for my
Malibu is 26 pounds in front and 29 pounds in the rear)
When I questioned the tire installer about his, he said
in no uncertain terms to ignore the mfgrs. recommendation
and keep them filled to the tire maker's maximum.

Seems to me the installer should know his tires, but I'm
reluctant to believe him without further comments.
Can anyone confirm or deny this recommendation?
