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.

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

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.

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