My manual only shows three scenarios. The first shows a picture of 5 people or 4 people and luggage with front = 35 psi, rear = 39 psi for up to 100 mph. It then breaks out for speeds over 100 mph, w/ 4 people, front = 33, rear = 38 and for 5 people or 4 people and luggage front = 38, rear = 45psi...

Will have to check the door jam in the car to if gives other figures...

245/35 - 275/30 R19

Michelin suggests 2.8 and 3.3 for the PS2 .
I use 2.9 and 3.4 but it is a bit too hard .

I run my 172s at 33 psi front and 38 psi rear, for average load - i.e. 4 people.

The tyres are non-run flats.
