yes mate as jimmyback sais, all depends on pref
some have 32psi all round all the way up to 42psi for others :shock:
some split lower for front & higher for rears
& vice versa
all depends on type of tyre, fast road/track use etc etc
safe bet is 32psi though
i run 38/40 psi

if you are track daying your R start off with 28psi all round, then after say 10-15 laps go to the pits and check them you will be surprised by the amount that the pressure increases by.
for the road it depends on suspension/load in car etc etc, but a generaly 30 -32 psi all round is a good basis to start from.

I think on standard tyres recommended pressures are about 35 psi.
With lower profiles you will want to go higher.
I run as above... any less and it feels all squishy and wandery (does that make any sense?) and tracks white lines and tar lines in the road. Any more and it tends to scrub out on corners, and feels way too slippery in the wet.
If you're running 205/40 17s goto 35 psi all round then experiment, you'll find the front pressures really have a noticeable effect. Find something you're comfortable with. And don't forget it rains from time to time
It will depend on your choice of tyre, how you drive, what suspension mods you have etc.
