Default Recommended typre pressures: 225/45 R17 on 02 WRX STi

Morning !

Just had two new rear tyres put on my new (to me) blobeye 02 WRX STi and I noticed that the guy I bought it from didn't include the owners manual. He still hasn't sent off the V5 either but that's another story . . . .

Can anyone let me know what the standard recommended tyre pressures are for 225/45R17's ?

Cheers

Phil

Second the extra pressure, especially in the front as it evens out the wear.

Thanks guys, sorry to be dull but are those pressures including the extra 5 psi or do I need to add to the numbers ?

And, being extra dull this afternoon . . . .

Does the extra 5psi go in the front or rear ?

I run 36 PSI front, 33 back.
Previously I was running 33 front and 32 back and my Goodyear Eagle F1's on the front wore down on the inside and outside within a year
