Tyre pressures on 195/50 will go up and depends on model of car you have. eg On a 16v 195's should be 38psi front 35psi rear. IIRC

205's are around 32psi. And thats fron the detail in the petrol flap.

Good info. I've been playing with higher pressures over the last week and I noticed the 195s do like 38 at front and 35 at rear  :smiley:
