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.

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

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”
