for a 15 in wheel it should be 34 fronts and 32 rear for a 16 in wheel it should be 32 fronts and 30 rear for a 17 in wheel it should be 30 front and 28 rear for an 18 in wheel it should be 32 front 32 rear ... try out the combo`s and see which one feels better for you ..these pressures are taken from auto data which is normally bang on .well it would, as it was my teacher that did all the auto data stuff amongst other things

Thread moved to appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old.
Been recently advised by my local independent tyre centre that I should be running 38-40 psi front and 36 psi in the rear tyres.....

Thanks for that. Best nip down garage in morning and let some air out. No wonder my steering feels light.
