What pressures are people running at?
Got mine at 22 front & rear, but it says 28 in the handbook.

24psi front and rear seems to be the preferred pressure.

Thats what I have mine at, seems to give better handling with the standard factory set-up.

Me too. I found 22 a bit too squirmy for me tbh. When I collected mine the pressures were all at 28 which was also horrible - 24 seems the best bet so far...

Depends what size wheel.

28 psi is for 16".

Surprised they say that.

Most agree that on road tyres 24psi gives the best grip, ride, and even wear, and that's been my experience. smile

My late 2005 car's handbook shows 24psi.

The update was sent out from the factory as a circular,persumably after the handbooks were printed.

I would be tempted to ignore the 28 psi for 18" rims and stick with 24.
