I put 36psi in the front and 32 psi in the rear and i get no odd tyre wear and this was recomended by the guys who fit my tyres

but according to the fiat members card its

front 2.7 bar = 39.16 psi

rear 2.2 bar = 31.9 psi

If you arent sure set your tyre pressure at 39.16 front and 31.9 rear , use it for a 1000 mile and then check thread deapth across tyre , if it's wearing in the middle more then on the shoulders , that means your tyre pressure a bit high.

Some tyres like more pressure than others , even wear save your money and gives you better fuel economy , dont forget to check tracking .

ATS EUROMASTER do free check , ask them how far it's out , and ask to make sure tracking is equal on flags .

Flags=gauges on the back wheels , whatever reading on one flag , same reading should be on other side , should be equal.

You can buy tyre depth guage at halfrouds or online.

P.S Just make sure they have flat ramp , thats what you need if it's lowered.

It's a pity you arent in Manchester frown

These are the proper fiat tyre pressures and will work fine. With any tyre change you should have your tracking done and they will see wheter the pressures are ok

It doesn't matter what size wheels/tyres you put on, the pressure is determined by the weight of the car so for a 20vt should always be 39psi rear and 32psi front.

There are exceptions to this, such as track days and santa pod etc.

Daniel@t-You are absolutely right load and temperature are factors , however still some tyres like more or less pressure to play about.

Tyre pressure check before tracking would makes tracking more precise!!!
