At the Bike Exchange we tell volunteers to fill tires on road bikes to 70 lbs. and mountain bikes to 40 lbs. which is a good starting point.
Never fill the tire to the max recommended pressure. During our work days someone will invariably do this and then after all afternoon in the sun the tire will blow out as the heat raised the pressure too high.
