Our bongo came with loads of japanese papers (interesting but can't read lol) but also an english translation of the manual. I was reading it and saw tyre pressures for 195s at the front and 215s at the back. So went to check on the bongo and mine has 215s at the front and 195s at the back. I think the numbers are correct off the top of my head but anyway I have larger at front and smaller at back)
What do others have, I'm thinking I should be changing them round

Yes - sooner, before you are later.
That is the wrong way round and you could end up the wrong way round.

Definitely the wrong way round. 195's should be on the front. Swap them asap otherwise stability and handling will be compromised.
A lot of people, me included, opt for 215's all round, might be worth considering.
Damn, scanner beat me to it!!!
