Default Tyre pressures

Guys, what should be the correct running tyre pressures for standard 17's on a 51 Bug...

Wall states no more than 40 Psi, currently running 37psi all round, and handles like a bag of ****e.

Thanks

Depends on the load- book says 2.3bar front and 1.9 rear light up to 2.3 full. Small changes at the back can make a big difference to handling...
