I searched around but didnt get any thread on this.

The Getz door pillar sticker/user manual specifies 30 psi all over as ideal air pressure for 1-2 passenger load. However, I always felt this was slightly inadequate.

While reading through Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 2 of 2, I came across a section which states

"According to the wags on many internet forums you can get the best performance by inflating them to 10% less than their recommended maximum pressure. It's a vague rule of thumb, and given that every car is different in weight and handling, it's a bit of a sledgehammer approach. But from my experience it does seem to provide a better starting point for adjusting tyre pressures."

Does anyone know whats the maximum and ideal air pressure for Getz 1.3 stock tires?
