Every car has a plate with recommended tyre pressures. Dealers usually can't be bothered to check them on PDI so they are often at very high pressures used to seat the tyre when first assembled or shipped. If you want to save a bit of fuel there is no harm in going a couple of PSI above the lower recommendations although ride comfort might suffer slightly.

my Tiguan was suppose to have 38-42 psi which was rock hard for the comfort, it had 235/55/19 which I think is the same as the Tucson.
I found that 34psi was a really good comfortable ride firm but not uncomfortable.

The plate is on the drivers door B pillar. Check pressures when cold as they will all vary once you've been driving.
You may also want to check them with an old school pressure gauge to see how the sensors are calibrated - just compare the 2 and then you can make allowances in the future.
Assuming that your manual pressure gauge is accurate. Don't use a garage airline or the gauge on the compressor that comes with the car, if it has a gauge as I've not bothered getting it out yet.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure on the wall of the tyre.
