I now stick to 34F and 29R on my 99MY wagon - mainly because I'm doing lots of motorway miles (600 per week).

When it goes in for service, the dealer always reduces to 29 all round - under the 33/28 in the booklet ! and yes, my tyre gauge is accurate, so figure that one !

In the wet though, you may prefer less air in or drive accordingly !

Too low pressure - outsides wear first.
Too high pressure - centre wears first.
Need to find the optimal pressure for you.
Personally I run 2.4kpa (cold) all round and seems to work best for me. For track use I push this up to 3.0kpa (cold).
