--- Quote from: Saffy on November 20, 2011, 15:07:38 ---you should be able to work it out exactly the correct psi from the tyre manufacturers specification for load index, bulge size of tyre at bottom blah blah for any given application but I've never been able to find a good reference on how to do it so I shove the all encompassing 30/32 psi front and 32/34 rear.

--- End quote ---

Look at the side wall of the tyre, should say something like 50 psi at 1000kg's. Find out your axle weight, divide by 2 and then work out a per psi per kilo rating from the side wall, quick bit of multiplication and you'll have the correct tyre pressure for that tyre on a specific vehicle.
