I'm driving my sister's S40 across country tomorrow and airing up the tires (no manual). Do they have the same pressure all around like my 240, or different front-back like my 850?

    All front engined cars have a few pounds less in the rear than the front. Even your 240, unless you fill up the trunk and carry 5 people.

    The manual and gas door carry the 'proper' psi to use. I usually fudge the cold air pressure by a few pounds because I want better mileage and I don't care about a bumpier ride.

      Klaus is right.
      Check the sticker on the inside of the fuel door.
      Not positive, and I'm not going to run out and check right now, but IIRC, our '01 is 39 psi front, 36 psi rear.
