I have winter and summer tyres on two separate set of rims. The winter tyres are on the original rims and I have the summer tyres on 17" rims which were taken from a 8th generation Type R.

I'm wondering what the best tyre pressure is for the summer tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225/45R17 94Y).

I've read that for 17" wheels the pressure should be a little higher for better fuel economy but I'm not sure.

Many thanks.

Just use the recommended pressures for the car. I suspect 34 psi.

On a 17 year old car, if you don't have a wheel losing 5 psi over a week you are doing well!
