Can anyone please confirm what the correct tyre pressures that are shown on the sticker on the door pillar are please, just fitted WRX winter wheels and tyres - 215/45 17 on our GB270 which normally runs on the standard 18 inch wheels and I can't remember what they should be, 33 front and 31 rear seems to ring a bell?

Thanks in advance

WRX runs softer than the STI

Also, winters need to be run about 5psi higher than summers.

I go about 35psi on my summers, 40 on winters. WRX mostly A roads or motorway miles

According to the plate in my 05 WRX

2.3 Bar Front
2.2 Bar Rear (2.4bar when laden)

I've been running winter tyres for 15 years on 5 different cars and always run the tyres at the same pressure all year round.

36/34 on my Wagon with winters. But as winters, don't really push it hard enough to make too much difference over a couple of PSi. Might go a touch higher as a do a lot of m-way miles.
