I used to run 34psi up front and 32psi rear...was a lil stiff but handled well enough for me
u could start there and come down if there's too much road feel from the tyres |

the ideal tyre pressure according to the manufacturer is normally stated on the tyre wall
use that as your starting point and work up/down accordingly |

nice link.. what i do is start at 32psi front, 30psi rear and then closely monitor the tyres for abnormal wear patterns, as seen in the posted link, then adjust the pressure to suite.. |

Hook,
from that link.
"A reduction in pressure on the rear axle with tend to increase the chances of oversteer."
normally we raise the tire pressures to increase oversteer. |

| AFAIK FWD vehicles with lower pressures at the rear do oversteer a bit due to the increased rolling resistance from the softer tyres at the back...the front wheels essentially pull the vehicle in a tighter circle as the rear wheels are more "planted" |
