    The car sticker shows the correct tire pressure tested by £Billions of research from Ford. I suggest you set pressure on what your car states...

    Just remember the sticker is cold tyre temperatures. They go up when driven or in direct sunlight.

    There are usually two sets of pressures.  One for light load (one or two people) and another for full load (4 people plus luggage).  The previous owner might have needed it on full load setting.

    Yeah that's about right for full load.  I've just checked the handbook.  Unofix is correct for light load.  Full load is 41psi front & rear.
