Cool, my rev1 import has a sticker on the drivers door just above the lock, so you can only see it when the door is open. Problem is it give pressures for the original rev1 14's with different tyre sizes etc.

Anyone know any different to 29/33?

cheers...

That's correct as far as I'm aware.

My rev3 handbook says 29/33 but as long as you keep a 4 psi difference between front and rear a few psi either way isn't going to make much difference. Try a few different combinations say 28/32, 29/33, 30/34 etc., and see what feels best to you :thumleft:
