Hi there.

Since the weight of the car hasn't changed - It'll need roughly the same amount of pressure with the same bias to the front (always more pressure at the front due to the extra weight of the engine etc) This bias is very important - you can get some very strange handling if you inflate all four tyres evenly

The Rover Handbook suggests 2.0 bar (28 psi) on the fronts and 1.8 bar (26 psi) on the rears.
