   I was just wondering how do you know what tyre pressures to run on aftermarket wheels/tyres its just that I have a new set of pro race 1.2's (great quality set of alloys by the way!) and at the moment im running standard pressures as recommended for the car by citroen its just the fronts are looking a little bit on the low side so unsure what to put in them, cheers

   If their 195/45/15 then i would go with what pressure is recomended for the vts wheels,
   I generally go 34 in the front, 32 in the back

   Yeah it's based on the weight balance of the vehicle. So standard pressures will be fine for a rim of the same diameter and similar rim width.
