Tyre pressures

Hi all.

In relation to Davey D's 'Self Centering' topic, there was a lot of talk about tyre pressures.

What are the recommended tyre pressures for a locost 7 type?

I am running mine at 16psi all round.

18 psi will be ok if the tyre is a 195 size

Just as a thought is there any kind of formula to work it out? Sometimes my tintop tyres look low but then when I check them they're exactly at the pressure the book says

Where is the valve when you check them ? They will only be low at the bottom , so you may need to rotate them to get a better reading

I always thought that they were higher at the bottom because that's the bit being squashed so there's more pressure.

I make sure it's in the middle so I get an average
