If you look on the driver's door, the tyre pressures are there. When I tow our caravan I increase the rears to the recommended 42 psi (from the 36 psi standard). That's on 19" wheel though, so I don't know whether the 18" are different.

Just had a look at the label on mine. It says all tyre sizes run the same pressure (except the space saver).JE Remap, De-cat, Blanked EGR's, Allisport intercooler, Samco intercooler hoses, D4 rear lights, A bar, Big spot lights, Front headlight guards, 20'' Stormer wheels,

I was advised when I changed mine recently that 38 all round is ok and towed my 1600kg caravan with no problems
