Try 25psi Front , 27psi rear

According to the manual: 26/27.5psi (1.8/1.9bar) front/rear.

I've got a 135R, looking in the manual supplement for the car ajk is correct, 1.8 front 1.9 rear. Don't forget to grease the front anti roll bar, the dealer forgot to grease mine at the first service and it made a hell of difference when I did the job 4000 miles later. I'd be interested to know what you think of your tyres , I've got Yoko's.

I've got a set of Bridgestones and a set of Yoko 48s.
No comparison really, I reckon the Bridgestones are a better road tyre (better in the wet and last longer), the skinny fronts (175) make the steering lighter but not so much grip on turn in. The Yoko 48s are a far better track tyre but don't last v long (5 weeks for my last set of rears).
Chalk & cheese really.
BTW I run my 48s at 23/26 f/r.
