Factory would probably be around 26psi??? My recommendation is to start at 34psi.

Factory as per Jules post, but set a pressure that suits your tyres and sidewall stiffness.

I'm using 30-32psi cold for road and 30-34psi cold for track days. The pressure will rise by 3-5psi during road use.

Depends on the cars suspension setup and the tyres sidewall stiffness. Play with the pressures until your happy really! :)

I used to find 34 in the front 33 in the back was just about right for my 195/50/15s

Buggered if I can find the optimal pressure on my new RT615s though....
