There is a chart in FAQ with the tyre pressures iirc, bit ime what feels right on one set of tyres may not necessarily work with another set, ie falcon 912 seemed better at 30,even though I pumped them up to 35/6 at times to get them to stay straight but sc3 s run better at 33/4.

I really should stop mentioning 912's though... Sh!te tyres.  >:(

i run mine at 41psi for the fronts, and 48psi at the rear. car is 3.2 ex plod estate with self levelling. i use full load pressures as i never know what the load will be from job to job :-/ same idea but different pressures with my vectra saloon. also pressures should be higher with higher speeds :-X if you spend all your time pootling around town by yourself then the basic pressures will be fine, if you spend your life at 80 ish all day long with the car loaded, then the higher pressures will be better... ;)
