Isn't this missing pressures for "up to full vehicle capacity" for Up to 100mph for both 16" and 17" tyres?

I'm sure the lads at WIM said that 35psi all round is the better pressure.

I stand corrected if I am wrong.

[VVProtocolVV]

Yes they recommended 35psi all round, used to pump mine to 30psi.

[DJ Wozza]

OE 17's 35psi :D

[Tony-Bones]

After dealing with the tyre wear on 100's of IS's the only patten of repetitive wear was under-inflation, so we upped the normal pressure to 35psi.

ive put 35 in mine now

215/45 ZR17

Up to 100mph

Front 33 psi

Rear 33 psi

100 – 132mph

Front 35 psi (up to 4 people) 36 psi (up to full vehicle capacity)

Rear 35 psi (up to 4 people) 41 psi (up to full vehicle capacity)

Above 132mph

Front 36 psi (up to 4 people) 38 psi (up to full vehicle capacity)

Rear 38 psi (up to 4 people) 49 psi (up to full vehicle capacity)

My point was that the article is missing pressures for (up to full vehicle capacity) for up to 100mph.

Anyway is Tony's 35psi for all "combinations" - i.e. 100-132mph, above 132mph and (up to full vehicle capacity) and all brands of tyre on the IS200/300?

[Paradroid]

Mine's on 35 psi, I noticed a very marked improvement going from 33psi (although I found the fronts were on 30psi which the tyre place had done the week before).

Vredestein (who makes my tyres) have a website, and they have recommended pressures for various makes of car. I checked and for the IS200 they recommend much higher pressures, 41 psi I think.
