Default toyo 235/45r17 tyre pressure ?

Just put them on my S3 XR8, and I am very happy with them. Can anyone tell me what tyre pressures I should be running? THX.

38 cold or 42 hot, is what I run standard in my 17s.

42 cold was recommended by the tyrepower guy when loaded for a family holiday run.

No less than 36 front - 38 to 40 better.

No less than 34 rear - 36 to 38 better.
