I've never blown a tire (except two really worn tires that were cording) but I cracked two of my ZHP rims. I agree 32psi is too low, especially with 18" rims. I try to run my fronts at minimum 34psi and usually aim for cold pressures of 36F, 38R. It rides harsher than 32 or 34psi but protects my rims. With 17" rims I normally aim for 34psi cold.

You don't want to ride on just the center of the tread so don't go wild and put in 40 psi. Also keep in mind that temp changes effect pressure. If you set the pressure in the summer and it is now 40-50 degree colder the pressure will be down. Also this time of year it is not unusually for some parts of the country to have swings of 30 degrees from mid day to evening or early morning to mid day. In such conditions 32 psi at high temp could be mid to high 20s during the coldest times. That is way too low. If your area is prone to such swings it may be wise to use nitrogen instead of regular air.
