Yes, the MAX Pressure will be listed on the tires sidewall...
If they are radial tires, you could run 3 to 5 pounds less than the Max listed.
Don't go by your old car owners manual recommendation on pressure,
as tires, and the pressure they need, has changed a lot over the years.

Don't run Radial tires too low on pressure though, they don't like that.
Below is an article about under inflated tires.
===========================

Driving on under-inflated tires is dangerous. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 1/3 of passenger cars, light
trucks and SUVs are being driven with at least one under-inflated tire.

Under-inflation is one of the leading causes of tire failure. If tire pressure is
too low, too much of the tire’s surface area touches the road, which
increases friction. Increased friction can cause the tires to overheat,
which can lead to premature wear, tread separation and blowouts.
