my handbook for the earlier car actually says 31.5 psi for both front & rear .... but what a psi between friends

Personally can't remember our MIG now, but the tyre pressures should be located somewhere within the car.
Normally on the door jam, but sometimes under the bonnet.

Failing that, the Owners handbook (easily found via Google) will tell you what's what.

if you want extra comfort drop the pressures 2 psi each..

ps if you wont hammer it..

The only thing Andy is we are talking of a 2000 3.0 V6, not a 3.2, and in my Vx manual for that model the pressure for three people is 31 (alright maybe 31.5 to be exact ) front and rear 33.

My manual TS 1433-B-98 pg 204 shows 31.5 for front and rear on a saloon .....  :-/

imho those pressure settings are not best for every weather.. in cold and wet for example you can increase for better braking..  but if you are after comfort and can sacrifice some grip drop the pressure.. and craaaash bum bang

33 to 34 on my conti sc3s, higher than usual, but below 30 they go squidgy and wonder around, keeps em in the right zone longer as they naturally leek down.

Do you find you get horrendous centre wear on the rears? Mine are down at 31 and the rears are down to the limit at the centre  with plenty of tread to the edges as if they're overinflated.

32psi on the estate, all round.
Tyre wear even across the tread front and back

not that i've noticed, but drivers rear is only about 3k old due to a puncture on the previous one, and the pass side rear has a very slow leak so hard to tell what pressure its been runming on, i keep finding it at 28 to 27 after a week or so.

[Broomies Mate]

34psi all round.

I am running lower profile tyres than standard (215-45-16).

To be completely honest, I always over-inflate by 2psi on any car.  Invariably there is 'some' loss over the time it takes to check again.

If only I had the time to check my tyre pressures once a week
