Just wondering if 17in and 18in wheels have the same tyre pressure??

My car came with 17's and has the same label as robin's but I'm now running 18's at the same pressure. . .

....Why does this confuse you? - I ask because I run the GY F1 Asymm2's.

35 psi = 2.4 bar

From my 08 ED30
Run my 18" GD F1 2's as it states, 2.6 bar (37psi) and it feels spot on IMHO.  :happy2:

I run my 17"s at 2.5 Bar , slightly higher than the reccomended 2.4 , but I was informed on my last service my car was wearing the outer edges of the tyres on the front a bit and they could do with having more air in. I tried the 2.6 they reccomended but it felt far too harsh so I backed them off to 2.5 and it feels ok.
