they should be about 28 front, 27 rear I think; it should say on your fuel cap.

however i prefer 30 - 31 at the moment because it feels nicer.

32 front
30 rear

But diesels are heavier so does it make difference

The R32 is rated at 33.5 F (2.3 BAR) & 32 R (2.2 BAR) , however I quite like 30.5 all round.

Cheers for the replies guys, 32 just seems to be too soft for some reason. All 4 look to be wearing on the outsides and they are only a couple of months old???

That's the way 18" tyres wear I am afraid. If you over inflat them then middles will go so you can't win really..

Only got the cheap ones that came with the wheels, so am not too bothered about them wearing as I expected them to do so, I just thought would take a little longer as they have only been on for 2/3 months.
