"Door jamb" pressures are where you start. Myself, I add 3psi (about 10%) to that, b/c
a) a little over pressure is better for fuel economy, tire wear, emergency handling than a little under, and
b) I've never seen air leak out of a tire.
Check the Michelins to see if they are "XL" or standard load. My '02 Aero's recommended pressures are 35/33 for "94" load range tires. The '06+ specs 235/45/17 standard load, which are also "94" load range. XL would have something like 97 or 98 load range and would tend to ride a little firmer. There's a formula for adjusting recommended pressure for different load ratings - which I forget even where to look for, let alone the formula, but if the new tires are XL, then door jamb pressure should do well for you.
