Depends!
Do you drive like a lunatic? Prefer feel over comfort? I'd say something around the 38psi cold mark, that's what I'd have. I've got 40psi in my rear 225/50 R16s and 35psi in the fronts.

when i had my steelies on about 3 years ago now i started at 35psi, and kept increasing the pressure and found i liked them at 40psi.
why do you have more psi in the reaR? wouldn't it be the opposite as the front has more weight? |

36 is about the norm.

35-36 in the front.
when loaded up I run between the 38-40psi mark in the rear (ute) .. usually 38psi though. I have even wear over all tyres .. and I do heavy load driving and towing all of the time. I run Sava Intensa tyres (235/45R17s) and I have done close to 40,000km on this set of tyres and I still have 50% tread left all round. I make sure my alignment is right regularly and rotate them when needed ... also I don't abuse my tyres .... except for loading them up.

I run all of them with 40psi at the front.
Tyre guy told me "38, but don't be afraid to pump them up"

Hmm, ive got 225,s and was told by the mechanic to do around 32, does that sound right? some people say 36 all round, some tell me to have a little more on the driving wheels, who should I believe?

55? your a crazy man you know that :/ with low profile tyres you should keep them around the 38 to 40, for the 16's an lower id say around the 34- 36 or 32 on the light cars
not to sure about the45 an 55 idea. theyll go kaboom  well the wont really but yea id use 45 tor a trailer that is constantly fully loaded with light truck tires, tyres designed to take more psi an with a higher ply rating
