Default tyres

Hi guys
couple of questions:-

1. I have a 99 classic turbo 2000 with new age 17" wheels. Does anyone know what tyre pressure i should be using? I have been using the pressures that were stamped on the drivers side door post, but a friend pointed out that because they are different wheels/tyres to standard that i could be putting the wrong pressure in the tyres.
This could explain why my tyres have been wearing un evenly. (4 wheel alignment has been done a few times and still the tyres appear to be wearing unevenly.)

2. I am currently looking for 2 new tyres on the front of my car, Are the new EU ratings accurate? ive been looking at some of the cheaper brand tyres and they appear to have the same speed rating but better on the noise/wet grip/fuel efficency. They are alot cheaper.

Thanks for your help

Dan

Ideally you want even tread all around, newage is 32psi rear 33psi front iirc, with the tyre you decide to buy that's up to you vredesteins are a decent price from camskill though.

yeh ive been looking at CAMSKILL, as i got my last set of Toyo Proxes T1 R - 215/45 R17 91W from them.

I found the tyres ok, and was going to get some again, but then i saw the EU ratings which are not very good at all, so i thought maybe i should try some other tyres which have a better EU rating?
