Does anyone know the correct tyre pressure for 235/35/19 tyres?

Cheers

It's the same as the standard 18 inch wheels and tyres (235/40x18), whatever that is.

Cheers guys

My tyres are dunlop max. They say extra load on them. I've inflated them to 40 lb/ft at the mo til i can get more info. I thought most cars i've had were around 32 psi but wasn't sure if the different tyre size affected what the correct pressure would be. :?

Get on the dunlop site and find out.

Using the standard book pressures on anything other than the factory tyres may be incorrect. They will almost certainly require higher pressures.

Just done a bit of searching and somebody with the exact same tyre size as you on the R32OC is running 40 all round :)
