My car is a little on the heavy side at 1200kgs so I've been running the tyres at the usual 32 psi all around.

Speaking recently with a person whose opinion I respect, he said that even with the car's 1200 kgs, a pressure of 26 psi should be adequate. 32 would result in ballooning with resultant heavy wear in the midddle 5 or 6 cm.

I am now running at 26 psi and the tyres do not feel overly hot at the end of a run. Turn in is not affected but steering effort at low or parking speeds has increased a bit, not much. Comfort is better. Road noise is unchanged.
