Since you spelled it "tyre" instead of "tire" I'll assume you are not from my side of the pond. In the U.S., a 97' Escort with P185/65R14 85S tires has a recommended pressure of 32 psi front and 32 psi rear according to Ford. I don't have access to European specs but a Euro-spec car with the same size tire should be the same pressures. If you don't have your owners manual you should still be able to find this information by referring to the metal plate rivited to the drivers side door or door jamb.
I have 5 years experience in the tire industry. Out of 20-some odd answers, mine is the only one that is factual and not a guess.

Read the tyres again. Its law that they have the max running pressure on them, but don't infalte them all the way to that 32 in the front and 30 in the back will see you right, Or go to a garage and look on the inflation chart for your tyre size.

Depends on your engine size - ragingmk's link will take you there.
Personally, I split the difference between the "normal" pressure and the "load/speed" pressure for general use. Handles & rides a lot better.
Ignore those idiots that quote the pressure on the sidewall - that's the test pressure for the tyre, nothing at all to do with the correct pressure for your particular car! Their advice is downright dangerous.

the correct tire pressure is always printed on the tire itself: Look closely at your tires, and you'll see near the rim, that the number would be say max load at so many psi or Kpa; look for that and match the numbers on the gauge when you are adding air. Always go by what's on the tire; for sometimes the auto manual is printed at a different time, and may not account for technical changes.
And lastly; add a little air at a time, until you are used to how long it takes to add so much... that is the safe way to do it.
Beware of some of the answers you get here

Sometimes you can find the tire information on the lid of the glove box or on the "A" pillar (driver's door). If not 32 would be a good place to start.

The tire pressure should be on the sticker on the inside of the door or on the door jamb side on the driver side. It should be somewhere around the door area. DONT FOLLOW THE TIRE PRESSURE ON THE TIRE ITSELF. Tire pressure depends on weight of the vehicle.

correct pressure is this: whatever the tire says, subtract 4 pounds.
so if the tire says 36 pounds, make the tires 32.
if it says 44 pounds, make it 40, or even 38.
if it says 32 pounds, make it 28 pounds.
the manufacturers have no idea what tires you are putting on your car. their listings are irrelevent.
when a tire gets hot, like high speed driving, or summer day, the air expands up to 6 pounds max.
