Tyre Pressures

Would anyone know what the correct tyre pressures are for my 15" BBS RA alloys?

I'm currently running 195/50's on them

Cheers

Normally the same unless you are carrying a heavy load in which case the rears will be a couple of psi more

My sportline runs these as standard and the sticker in the door shut says 27psi front and back. More pressure in the back if carrying load but I don't remember what it is.

I run 195x50x15 Toyo Proxies at 31 front and 32 rear, on a cabriolet. i did have 32 on the front but it made it a little twichy, experment with a few lbs either way. I dont't go under 30 as the steering gets heaver and when i hit speed bumps they tend to bang over them( feel like the wheel going to fall off 8O ).  27 psi is ok in a higher profile typre as this doesn't happen because of a softer tyre wall.
