V6 tyre pressures

Looking in the handbook, there are two different pressures quoted.
39psi front and 36psi rear - which seems a little high to me
33psi front and 30psi rear - which seems too low
Can anyone tell me what pressures they use/used to use on the V6?

Assuming you have 15" rims with 195/60R15 tires fitted, the usual recommended pressures are 32psi front, 30psi rear. It's what I've always stuck to. If carrying heavy loads for a long trip, add a couple of psi all round.

I've always used 39F 36R on mine even when I changed to fox alloys.
I think they're that high due to the extra weight of the v6.
I've never had any uneven wear & handles great.

Indeed. I tried the lower pressures for a while but reverted to 39 and 36 as they seem to give the best ride.
