Default toyo 235/45r17 tyre pressure ?

Just put them on my S3 XR8, and I am very happy with them. Can anyone tell me what tyre pressures I should be running? THX.

38 cold or 42 hot, is what I run standard in my 17s.

42 cold was recommended by the tyrepower guy when loaded for a family holiday run.

I run 40 psi in the front and 38 psi in the rear with 235/45/R17's when i was working at Ford but its up to you, Some people find it a bit too harsh and some love it.

No less than 36 front - 38 to 40 better.

No less than 34 rear - 36 to 38 better.

40 all 'round cold for my Toyos. They still look new after 30000+kms. What Toyos did you pick up?
