How much over recommended tire pressure is OK?
Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the “maximum inflation pressure.” That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your “recommended tire pressure” of 33 psi, Gary. So, in your case, I’d recommend that you put 35 or 36 psi in the tires and just leave it there.
What is the maximum inflation you should put in a tire?
between 44 and 51 PSI
According to Berger the maximum inflation pressure for modern tires is typically between 44 and 51 PSI (pounds per square inch). If a driver inadvertently puts too much air in a tire it won’t necessarily cause any damage, but it will impact other aspects of the vehicle.

Which is the best cold tire inflation pressure?
The recommended cold tire inflation pressure is based on your worst-case (or heaviest) load scenario. The pressure molded onto the tire sidewall is the HIGHEST pressure the tire is rated for at a maximum load, as determined by the tire manufacturer.
How is the pressure of a tire rated?
Each tire is rated with a load range, load index number, and max pressure rating. Passenger tires will be rated Light Load (LL), Standard Load (SL), or Extra Load (XL). Extra Load tires of the same size will typically have the same load capacity at the same pressure as the Standard Load tire.
What happens when a tire is not inflated properly?
When a tire isn’t inflated properly, it wears down more quickly. If you notice that one or all of your tires are wearing out faster than usual, it may be because they’re underinflated.
