rofl all tyres have different pressures, also you need to set your tyre pressures to circumstances E.g. If you only have you in the car at all times slightly higher psi is better. But if you often cram 4 passengers in, they should be slightly lower psi. Normally says on the side of the tyre wall, max psi @ certain weight etc.

28/32 for high loads iirc, I used to run mine at those pressures all the time without any problems, untill I found that dropping the rears to 28 reduced the tendancy of the back to slide out.

That will be about right for that bigass XE lol

I've always run (on the Nova van) 30 on the front and about 26 on the rear. If you always have passengers in the back I'd have the rear 30-32 personally.
