Rhys, I would try around 28-30 at back, and 24-26 at front then roadtest and adjust pressure up and down a little and roadtest on the same section of
road till you're happy with it, remember to increase the pressure if you are carrying a full load. You should always have more pressure at the back,
likewise in a Beetle.
Cheers, Ian.

My rears are good for 80 psi, so I set them to 60 after finding that 30, 40 or 50 just allowed the thing to wander all over the place in corners. I
can't remember my fronts, but from memory they are within 10psi of maximum.
