Best pressure is the max pressure located on the tire.
...IF the tire is carrying the maximum rated weight for that tire. While it is indeed safer to be over-inflated rather than under-inflated, it is definitely NOT the best option. Over-inflation can result in a rough ride, and cause excessive tire wear in the center of the tread.
Max pressure based on the sidewall info is always the best option. Now if you've upgraded tires to a heavier load rating than your rig came with it won't be nesesary to go to the max. If your wheel can handle the pressure max air will make your tires last longer and help reduce chance of blow-outs.
