Quick Q: Tyre pressure for 205/45/16's

[Ally]

As above. I've just fitted 205/45/16s to my 172 but don't know what pressure to run them at (the handbook only quotes for the standard tyre size of 195/45/16). The garage whacked them up to 36psi allround but somehow I don't think that's correct...

What's recommended in the 182's handbook for this size?

Or, what would you recommend for these tyres?

Sorry, I just can't get the search function to work :S

Cheers

Renault say 33 F and 31 R - most run about that sometime 1/2 psi higher. Below 30 it feels a bit rubbish....

I'll change them to 34f/32r, see how that feels and go from there...

Possibly a really silly question , but I'll ask it anyway: does the tyre brand make a difference to the pressure for a given size? Just that I've heard it mentioned in the past that some manufacturers have different tyre profiles, if you know what I mean. (BTW, it's Uniroyal Rainsports I've put on - I'll report back when I've done a few miles).
