40PSI all round.

I believe the maufactures always set the pressures lower as the trick is ride quality over performance. People will always pick the ride quality before they notice the performance of the said car. It's an old trick, especially in the used car market.

I rented an Xr6 the other day and drive it to Canberra from Sydney. I pulled into the first servo as the tyres felt flat

16PSI left, 48 psi right!

good one Hertz!

And thanks for the brake shudder, it fizzed up my coke!

I'm running 35 all round and I do a LOT of highway driving and general city driving....adelaide to nsw and back...soon to melbourne to tassie and back and have just clicked over 23,000k's - the tyres still look fine to me - plenty of tred left on them.

I choose 35 cause its a nice round number....30 is to low and 40 seems 2 high 4 me....so I say 35 :P She handles fine...grips the road well...no problems.

Yes, I can see where choosing a nice round number would give the best result. Well, tyres are supposed to be round aren't they? So it makes sense to me. But how did you come to have a '5' in there? Not much of the '5' is actually round. I like the '3' though. It is really nice. '8's are even better. I can look sideways at an '8' and it reminds me of what I see laying in bed beside me. I've always believed '0's to be a nice round number. And if you get a pair it is doubly good. So something like 00 in the front and 0 in the rear should work fine.

Plus 35psi = ~240kpa, which seems an appropriate number for this car :lol:

Personally I run 40/38 front/rear.
