I think it says on the tyres, if not you can usually find out on the air machines at petrol stations.

i've never seen it written on the tyres, it would depend on what car they are fitted to. they may have a max pressure on them, but i don't really no!

I THINK (but don't quote me on this, it's usually between 30-33)

It's safer to check if no-one knows

yeah run them at 30 if it just you and say one person in the car but if your plannin a long journey with extra weight ie couple of people in the back and luggage I would say put them at at least 32, I have mine at 30 all the time as i neva have ppl in the back!

Doesn't it say the exact pressures with/without load on the inside of the petrol flap thing?

That is, ofcourse, presuming you haven't gone all aftermarket fake alloy petrol cap on us! :D
