With your 18" tyres, looking at the owners manual or petrol cap won't help. You should look at the tyres themselves - they should state a 'maximum' pressure and you work backwards from there. Most tyres have a max PSI in the 40's, with 'standard' pressures at about 32psi. I run my 17" tyres slightly higher (36psi) to reduce rolling resistance and help reduce wear on the outer edges. Not recommended for your 18's unless you actually want to visit a chiropracter!
