No idea, but I'd go up to 35, if the ride is then too hard, come back a bit.

i would keep it at 30psi on a 19rim with that low profile, any more will probably make the ride bone crunching!!

30 sounds low for such a low profile....  ....i'd be looking mid to high 30s, measuring tread depth and wear pattern every 200miles.

That low profile will give awful ride, thats the downside to that kind of tyre.

Remember to check out the tyre manufacturer and rim manufacturers web site as well.  They may well list recommended pressures for the tyre size, even though it is non standard for the actual vehicle.
