What do you think is the better tire pressure for a 4 door, 1.6L 206??
I use 30PSI for the front and the rear tires, but it seems that the front tires need more pressure because they look kind of deflate when the car is stop.
So, that's why I want to read your opinions...

Tyre pressure does not change no matter which size alloys you fit to the car.

Tyre pressure does however change as soon as you move away from the OEM tyres.
Therefore this is all bulls**t, unless you still buy the same ones.

When I changed away from the standard tyres & also changed the wheel size I emailed Michelin technical for advice & they advised me 33 psi front & rear for my application.
33 psi front & rear would be a good starting point for any 206, if anybody wants exact information ask the tyre manufacture & see how good there customer services is.

Thanks for your answers!
Seems that I'm going to test with 33 on the front. I have the same 14 wheels the car come with, and now, instead of using Michelin tires I'm using Bridgestone... but with the same measurements of 185/65/R14.
