I think that it is on the fuel filler door. My manual is in German, and it's all Greek to me.

However, if you need me to copy anything from the books, just let me know, and I will attempt to help you.

Default As noted above, should be stickered on the inside of the fuel filler cover

but for the 265/35R20, mine suggests 41 psi front, 38 psi rear with a light load, these pressures should be set with the tyres 'cold'.

Default Not there but there is a huge sticker on the driver's door jamb with the info:

5 occupants, 44 front, 44 rear, 44 spare!
Seems high and no details for light load.
Thanks all!

Admittedly just travelling up/down the driveway isn't too hard on the tires ;-)

Default I guess you're pretty damn lucky your place is on the map!!

You would have many more miles trying to find your house in uncharted territory ;-)
