Default Air preassure question

I know this is kind of a noob question, but I want to be more secure about this. What air pressure should I be using on my front and back tires? these are the numbers on my tires P245 70R16

The tire sidewall says the max pressure - Different rated tires will have different pressures. For example a load class C tire is max 35 psi but a load class E tire has a max of 90psi.

Just look on the sidewall & it will tell you the pressure to run.
