it is the same as your standard psi settings mate. it is down to weight loading, which does not alter. what car do you have?

yeah, sorry did not look at your profile, def 39 and 32, although some people do run less. Please search it, as this comes up again and again and always ends in a "discussion"

I tend to keep my pressures a bit higher, as i notice on my first set the edges wear quicker if set to normal pressures, 2.1/2.2 bar does the trick. I think lower profile tyres need to be a bit harder

Id agree with that. If you run the recommended 39psi you start to wear your edges out. I run 36psi front and 32 back now.

Cosmo - I don't think that makes sense. Higher pressures would wear out the middle more, lower pressures would wear out the edges more.
Stands well back while can of worms opens .
I personally run 39 on the front if it drops below 36/37 then I can feel it through the steering wheel, the car feels wobbly/unsure in corners and doesn't give me the same confidence to plough into a corner and intentionally overweight the front so that it grips more. I am running the standard skinny 16's on mine though.
Anyway, i'll grab my coat and head for the door.
