hmm, you mean written on the actual rubber? i have not noticed, you'd think tirerack would tell you on their page for the tire model itself, but i didn't see it there either.

It should say on either the inside of your gas tank cover...or on the door jam on the driver-side door!

Silver, yeah I know that the car itself says 44psi, but I'm asking if it changes for winter tires, since the car is delivered with stock tires. Doesn't that have some effect?

yes, check the tire itself, it will tell you the maximum psi.

I run mine at the same PSI as the stock Contis. I think it's about 40psi in the front and 36 in the back - or roughly midway in the recommended PSI range for the car (check door frame) You should check that your tires can handle the pressure: it should give you the max PSI on the side of the tire.

For those interestd, the Tire itself says no higher than 40psi, so I keep them at 38psi. I am eager to get my summer tires back on.
