Correct tyre sizes?

[shortlad]

I have a 96P 4.0HC with power steering. What is the correct tyre size? Not sure it has the right size on the fronts.

What should the pressures be for general road use?

Hi mate, I've got a late '95 Chimaera with PAS and on the front I have Bridgestone S02's 225/50ZR15's and on the back I've got Toyo Proxies 245/45ZR16's.

I think the pressure is 24psi all round, I know the handbook says 24 for the rear, and I'm pretty sure the front is the same.

Power steering means 225/50/R15 profile on the front, it would be a 205 profile without power steering. Pressures are normally 24 Rear, 22 front, although iirc Steve Heath said he runs 22 Rear, 20 front with Bridgestone S03s. This may be due to the stiffer sidewall of the SO3s compared the original S02s, but best to get the man himself to answer that.

I've got 205s on the front with power steering.
