Doesnt your tyres tell u on them? I have Falkens and they have the Psi rating on them beside size etc. Dont know if this helps.

test drove the car, was fine, left a deposit. went back next day to collect it and noticed it wasnt right, got home took it to garage and found hed topped them up.

gave him a ring and he said his son had filled them seeing as i was doin a long journey home and wanted to be sure i made it!
