should say on the side of the tyres you get mate if it says 32 psi for example only pump it up to about 26-28 psi you need to allow for the temp of the tyres temp gets hot air expands if you pump up to the max pressure youll just at risk of having a blow out lol unlucky but could happen 
If you drive fast down back roads etc on the other hand only pump up to about 23 psi

23 psi is fine providing you warm your tyres up before you go booting it i use to run 24ish psi in my fiesta zetec s as i use to drive on tracks etc with the heat it expands the air which in flats the tyre nicly

On the side of the tyre it will state the MAXIMUM safe working pressure, in normal running you wont be anywhere near this figure.
Tyre pressures should be set when the tyre is cold / stood overnight.
23 psi is far to low a pressure for a 206, you risk overheating the tyre & causing a blow out not to mention the p**s poor handling & uneven tyre wear it will cause.
33 psi front & rear will be idea.

that make sense. slick don't need much pressure compare to road tyre as their side wall is like concrete.
