Pirelli web site won't quote figures, gues it has to do with some legal thing in case it goes bang!

But that is for 215/45x17, is it not? (and I think you meant 33F, 32R).

knowlesy
28 in the rear is way too low. Are you not thinking of the MY00 or earlier. If the Subaru dealer thinks these are the right tyre pressures for a MY01 then they don't deserve to be a Subaru dealer! As Terry says, it says 33F 32R on the vehicle, and in the handbook, for 215/45x17.

Incidentally, I got my figures from Mike Wood at Prodrive when we put UK300 wheels/tyres on Carolyn's car, and Mike knows what he is talking about.
