Take a look on the drivers side door surround bodywork (underneath door catch).

There should be a sticker there with the required pressures depending if the car is loaded or not.

On my 206cc, Unloaded the sticker says the pressure should be 2.3 bar (loaded 3.0 bar). It doesnt say what it is in PSI. An online converter says 2.3 bar=33.35 PSI.

Hope that helps.

Our 2005 1.6 Allure is still on its original Continental tyres and we've always run it with 35 psi front and back when unloaded. The tyres have worn evenly except that at 17,800 miles the front tyres were showing wear at the edges of the tread, so I swapped the fronts and backs (leaving them on the same sides of the car) to even out that wear.

The car has now done nearly 25,000 miles with plenty of wear still left in the tyres.

When running fully loaded I increase the pressure in the rear tyres to 40 psi but this is only very rarely at holiday time carrying full suitcases and with more than 2 up in the car.
