Default Tyre pressure for MY06 STI?

Hi all,

Newbie here.

Just bought me an MY06 STI - what a fantastic car!

Been doing the bed time reading of the manual which states to look at the plate inside the drivers door area for tyre pressures.

I've looked but the readings are all Greek to me,why no readings in psi.seems very strange and it's the first car i've come across that doesn't have them.

Could someone tell me the stipulated pressures in psi and what they think are THEIR ideal pressures for Bridgestone Potenza REO70's 225 / 45 / 17.

I've done a search but couldn't find anything on these.

Many thanks

Renny

34psi all round for me, although I'm running F1 GSD3.

Tend to do a lot of motorway miles, with a lot of stuff in the boot

i was waiting for the flatness at the bottom to work its way round the whole tyre

in over 3 years i cant remember putting air in luckily i have just had a new set of tyres so i have got away with it for another couple of years
