It should be on a label on the side of your door pillar.

For various tryes.

In that case just look at the ranges of tyre pressures for the ranges of tyres. I would imagine they don't fluctuate too much.

Probably the biggest factor will be load rating "W" or "Y".

Just choose a sensible median near your tyre size, taking the load factor into consideration. You won't be far out.

Edit : meant speed ratings !

On my setup the difference in pressures are quite marked when changing from W to Y.

The sizes you mention are standard fit 17" M sport sizes.

They WILL be on the rating plate.

Failing that, read the manual.
