I run 38 psi. Don't expect a soft ride with 18" unless your on the autobahn.

I have 18" rims and run with 36 psi (2.5 bar) front and 44 psi (3.0 bar) at the rear.

On 18 inch rims (8fr/10rear) I found 35 on all four corners best.
Performance Tyres (UK) recommends 30/32.

I thought that 44 was for the 16's on the rear, isn't that a tad high for 18's?

I'm hoping for an answer as I've some tyres to be fitted soon, and had reckoned on about 33-34 all round...

Just checked the handbook and plate on the car and 36/44 was right. I'm running 34/40 currently for best feel.
