the rear should always be approx 2psi lower than the fronts, as the rear hasn't to cope with increased weight of the engine | |

The wider the tyre, the bigger the contact patch on the ground, which means the lower the pressure you need to run to achiever the same deformation of the tyre. On the other hand, the heavier the car over standard, the higher pressure you need to run. On my stripped out car with 7 inch rims, I run 26psi at the front and 25 at the rear. | |

so do you think reverting back to 31.5f and 28.5r is a good idea? | |

and if your wheels are running a lot of camber then what?? I dont agree with above, about 32 front and 30 rear or if you have a LOT of ice maybe a touch more should do it. | |

inflate by the position of the wheel i guess all grooves/ridges(spelling?) should sit flat on the ground (@ ground level) so you will get an idea when its over inflate or under inflate | |

36 for the fronts is very high I think | |

I'm on 32f 30r on 195/45/16, but that's just a guess, dunno if they should be higher. Remember if they are too high, you get less grip. | |

I was told by the place that I bought my tyres from to go up 1.5psi per inch that your alloys increase. | |
