Continental’s website indicates that your 700 x 47 tires have a max pressure of 58 PSI, but I’d check the sidewalls of your tires, as they could potentially indicate a 65 PSI max pressure. In any case, I’d inflate them to their max pressures, which will make them roll more efficiently thus making pedaling somewhat easier and allowing for slightly higher speeds.

Continental’s website indicated that my Comfort Contact 700 x 54 tires had a max pressure of 58 PSI, but their sidewalls indicated that they have a max pressure of 65 PSI. After inflating them to 70 PSI, I found that they rolled even better than at 65 PSI, so I’ve continued to use 70 PSI ever since.
