If 29psi is the optimal tire pressure for the stock 185/70/14 tires, what should be the best tire pressure for 215/40/17's? The same or more?

I thought my front tires (215/45/17) were looking a bit low and it turns out they were inflated to 29 psi when I had them installed. I recently bumped them up to 33, but is this ideal? Sounds like a lot of people vary their tire pressure. I want to make sure my pressure is good enough because I'm taking the Celi for a good 8 hour drive this weekend.
