I would NEVER run a tire at 32 psi if the maximum inflation is higher. (this is my personal choice)
Now as Trevor suggested if your personal taste if different then adjust them down but not too much. Underinflation can cause the tire to overheat and fail.
Case in point. The original tires on my wifes galant clocked 64k miles before I replaced them. I ran them at the max pressure. These were 50k tires. No signs of any problem other than normal treadwear.

An important point has been made. If in doubt, lean towards a higher pressure. In fact you will probably enjoy the experience if you appreciate the feel of better handling.
