I know that the tires on a MINI are supposed to be 33 PSI cold...but does this apply if you get after market tires. I put on Pirellei P Zeros and I was just wondering...

41 psi is the maximum, start with 33 psi cold, if in the OE size(205/45/17 or 215/45/17). Higher pressuresd may make premature tire wear, but can make for fun handleing charateristics.
