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
woke up this morning and my front left is 7PSi lol and i have no jack :( have to carry the 8 tonne one from garage

30 psi all around
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.

ive allways used 28-30
I've always gone 28psi rear and 29psi front. Worked well for me so far.

Well i have 195/45/15's on the front and 195/50/15's on the rear, how the hell do i get them right!
I just wack them all to about 28psi.
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
