Check your door jam and go by the sticker. The pressures there are recommended based on the weight of your vehicle.

I would start with 2.4 bar / 35 PSI all around and see how the tyres wear based on your driving needs.

I tried doing 34 all around on my after market tires but I kept getting the warning sign and I couldn't do sport mode cuz it wants them at like 36/37 psi

Those are the recommended pressures for a fully loaded vehicle. If you are not carrying 3 passengers and luggage you will probably want to experiment a bit.
