Nope the Estilo and WagonR VXi both have 155's it's only the LXi models that have 145's. both are recommended as 33psi.

v1p3r, yeah your right about the manufacturer recommending higher than normal for better mileage. No use going by those numbers.

I was just saying that as people blindly follow the logic and to top it off if you overinflate based on manufacturers recomendation then god help you.
