Default New tire inflation?

Hey everyone,
I have a 2001 accord lx and i recently bought new 17'' rims and 205/50-17 tires to replace the old 15''s and their 205/65-15 tires. My question is about inflation. The placard on my car says to inflate to 29 psi cold for front and rear, but with these new wheels should i raise the psi or keep them at 29? Thanks for your input!

Default Hi New Bie

Look at the side of your tires for your information...

The tire's sidewall only tells me the max pressure for the tire (50psi)

The owners manual might list inflation pressure for alternate tire sizes??

What does your local tire speed shop say then?
You know the place, where every one goes with the custom wheels and tires.
