How much do you weigh? 32 seems a bit low for my preference. I've been running 38 but dropped to 36 after dropping myself to 210 lbs.

The load on the tires and your riding style have more to do with it than some specified number.
Just don't go over the max printed on the sidewall.

I run Metzelers.
