Tyre pressure question

My hawkeye saloon has 225/40/18 Continentals, what tyre pressure should I be looking at for front and rear?
Going to the garage at lunch so quick answer would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Not sure about 18" but you should aim for a couple of psi lower on the back than the front ideally.

Look at any differential wear between the shoulder and the centre and adjust accordingly. I run 33F/28R on 17" rims.

To be honest you can get 100 people with 100 different settings

It`s all down to personal preference.

Out of interest, does the wagon need higher rear pressure?
