A safe bet is 30 F 28 R psi for day to day driving and just keep an eye out for any uneaven wear and go from there.

Only take it up to about 35 psi if your going on a long journey with a car full of your mates.

My tyres still look a bit saggy at 34psi on the front :(

Does the engine weigh a lot more? Thought the weight of a 1.6 and a 2.0 would be almost the same :-?

Should I be taking the pressure up even further?
