Re: Correct tyre pressures 15" wheels
It varies with the size/make of tyre. Try about 36psi and play with them until it feels right. I run my 17" tyres at 40psi all round. The tyre pressures are actually shown on a panel in the passenger door frame, but not many seem to actually stick to them

40 front & back for me too on my 15"s.
Less than that & they tend to wear quickly on the outer edges.

Re: Correct tyre pressures 15" wheels
My tyres are 215/15's all round and 38psi front and rear, with rear conversion, but you need to experiment to find whats right psi for you with your set up.
Re: Correct tyre pressures 15" wheels
42 front and 46 rear on unconverted 2wd AFT on original sizes (195 70 15 and 215 65 15) on Conti Vanco 2 tyres. Might sound high, but after lots of experimenting I have done this for a long time, they hardly bulge at all, and feel just right. Would be interested in others views on this though.
