The issue is you won't know if the previous owner was running the pressures below or equal to the rated amount so you won't know what pressure is required.
I'd run the rated pressure and keep a close eye on it and adjust where required.

Yup, this. If the wheel's dead centre when you're driving in a straight line then the tracking will be basically as it was last set, and unless you're taking it a decent place there is a high likelihood you'll end up with it in a worse state than you took it in. Seen that many, many times. If it's wearing on both the inner and outer edges then it's likely to be inflation and/or the wrong tyres fitted. Let's be honest, if someone fits a different size just to be cheap are they really going to be keeping an eye on pressures until the pressure sensors tell them to stick some air in?
