   I don't think it matters what size tyres/wheels you have... or how you drive, you should use the recommended pressure. iirc it's 2 bar... or 1.9 or something.
   Have a look at the sticker on the inside of the door!

   thats fucking waay to high!
   
   pressure is to carry the weight of the vehicle.
   ive got pubes which weigh more than a saxo!
   
   drop them! and with winter comming, drop them abit more 26 to 28 front and rear for the next 2 months will be fine. then 30 front and rear will feel much better.

   I don't understand psi... what's 36 in bars?
   
   Edit: just had a look... that does seem a bit high
   
   1.9 bar is about 28psi by the look at it..
