Question on Tire Pressures...

I just moved from 205/55/16 tires to 215/45/17 on a 17x7 rim. I'm having diffuculty getting the wheels balanced properly by the shop that sold them to me. If they aren't balanced, they can keep them (that's another issue).

Anyway, to make sure I'm not adding to the feel of the tires I want to make sure I'm running correct pressure for the tire on my car - 1994 850 Turbo Wagon. When the shop mounted the tires, they filled to 41psi all the way around. I believe my fuel filler door calls for 36front / 41rear as one option (of 2) for recommended pressure. That is for the factory tire size, and what I have been running, maybe a bit higher in front.

Any thoughts on the correct pressure for the combo of 215/45/17 on 17x7" wheel?

Thanks,
Barry
