Falken ZE-512 Tire pressure?

I am going to put on a set of 205/60/15 Falken ze-512 M+S's on my MCS. The wheels are 15x7 konig rewinds.

I hear that I should use the recommended for 15" wheels tire pressure... uhh... 175's are DINKY. I have a huge tire compared to that! Either it needs more or less, I cant imagine the exact same amount. Then I read some using 38 psi and others 30. Eh. I know it can vary quite a bit, but handling is compromised and ride stability with too much or too little. optimal?
