I have a 96my WRX Wagon with 16inch rims and run Pirelli P6000's at 32psi, slight understeer if you go hard into a bend, but brake before the bend and power through stops any understeer.

Tyre pressures, depends on model/wheel size/tyre make and should be set at what feels right for your normal driving habits.

That on a classic MY00. Found that 32psi with the 18s meant cats eyes could clank the wheel with the 35 profile tyres

33 psi front

28psi rear on a 98 wagon,also try and get the tyres filled with nitrogen as these dont waver in pressure when hot or cold,and they dont lose poundage,should cost no more than £1 per tyre

Depends on tyres, model year and preference I reckon.

F1s are soft-handling, and on MY03 they work well at 10% above rated, mine are at 35/32 (on a Prodrive-sprung wagon with stock rims), sometimes 36/33. They feel dead at rated pressures.
On a '98 wagon I ran them 35/32 or slightly lower as the car rode harder, on both 16"s and 17"s.

I found Bridgestones didn't need to be much above rated pressures.
