The tyre makers say see the car makers details, and vice versa.... I stick to the "manual" settings, but add 2 psi all round just to try and wear the centre of the tread a little....

Tyre pressure is relative to the weight of the car, not the size or width of the wheels or tyre. Manufacturers recommended, or personal preference for specific handling or wear requirements.

my 215/35/18's get 30 rear and 32 front seems to work the best for me.
