    dont think the tyre size makes any difference to pressure unless youve got some super stretched rubber on there... i put 28/29psi in mine 30 would be max (only if its heavily loaded)

    Have a play See what you prefere. I reckon 35 must make it nice on roundabouts though

    I run 185/60x13 but as already said size does not make a great difference, i run about 22/24 when i want it to stick and around 28/29 when i dont , hope that helps
