Tyre pressures

Need to check my tyre pressures and not sure what i should run them at?
Car is Stuart Taylor fireblade with 175/60 13 Yoko A539's for road use.

Currently all about 21psi since i had it and i feel i need to go up slightly.

Cheers

I run mine at 16psi all round (cold). 21 sounds a bit high for such a light car, i sometimes bump the rears up to 18 if i'm carrying a passenger. As the tyres warm up the psi rises, check them after a hard blast, they may have gained 4 or 5 psi.

I'll check them again when cold as 21 was after a little run.
It just feels like its rolling over on the tread on the rear and the sidewalls are looking a little scrubbed.
