i would swap that variance around unless you like the car biased toward understeer

but around 30-35psi is a good pressure

Mine are currently 28psi which is just a bit more then what the manual says on normal tyres. No issues, and tyre wear is minimal

Id have said that 28psi all round with maybe a touch more for the fronts....

the pressure should remain nearly the same as STD.... above 30 is far too high imho.

I've always gone 28psi rear and 29psi front. Worked well for me so far.

largely regardless of the tyre size you keep nearly std figures as youve still got the same weight and contact patch requirements..

i do 33psi on mine, i figure im going to loose 1psi when i take the nozzle off lol. when the tyres were fitted they pumped to 33 too

i allways want to hide when putting 66psi in the transit fronts, it sounds a crazy figure too me

i agree largely with stuart. about 28-29 all round is plenty considering a lot of our novas now weigh a few pounds less than standard. i always go for a bit less at the rear as all the weight is up front. it can be quite difficult setting your psi 100% as long as you are within this range(give or take) you should be fine
