Tyre and oil threads are bad enough, but tyre pressures?  ;D

I can't recall if the Omega has a label somewhere... Fuel filler lid or drivers B pillar :-\

Failing that, there is always the owners manual...

I used to run my estate (same 225/55/16 tyres as yours should be) at 39 front and 42 rear... aka max load pressures.
Onanists always think outside the box.

Page 227 of the Owners Handbook is quite informative....
For a 2.2 saloon with 16" wheels.....
Normal load - 30 Front 30 Rear
Full load  -  36 Front 42 rear
2002 3.2 Elite saloon, 2003 3.2 Elite saloon & estate

And if an estate....
Normal load - 30 Front, 33 Rear
Full load - 41 Front, 48 Rear
....although the latter seems a big high to me, but, I'm not the expert - just going off the handbook...

225/55R16 tyres on a MFL estate 32psi front, 36psi rear, most of it is round-town driving and have no uneven tyre wear running WIM settings

Tyres are Dunlop Sportmaxx GT RT2 extra load, different tyres run better at different pressures I find, especially with bigger sidewalls like the 16"
