Same as standard. Tyre pressures don't change with wheel & tyre size.

It's the same pressures no matter what size wheels or tyres and that's the same for any car. Read your handbook.

Abuse I did not take it that way, If that is all some one has to say its in the hand book then i would rather they did not reply, as with any car or hobby its not what the BOOK says its what other peoples experiences are and sharing them!!!!

Did a similar thread several weeks ago. The consensus was higher pressure in the fronts, namely 35F and 32R.

I disagree with with Paulpalmer - It does matter what tyres you have due to sidewall strength. I recently changed to Goodyear F1's and had to increase pressure all round by 2 PSI all round. now running 34 fronts, 32 in the rear tyres.
