Mostly just me, back and forth to my office or to meet with clients.

Don't go by the max rating for the tire - look at the side of the drivers door or in the manual for mfr recommended psi.
I would suggest starting at 32 all round for unladen maybe a few psi higher in the rear.
If the X is going to be fully laden maybe put up to 38psi in the rear - 45-50 seems way, way too high to me.
