    There is usually a plate on the inside of the drivers door frame with this info, otherwise look in the handbook.

    Scroll down to the 1.8 model
    and select your tyre size.
  • Also try checking for a sticker in the glovebox.

    Op. Seriously you had 4 x new tyres fitted in Feb 2019. 17 months ago  and have never checked the tyre pressures? :s

    This should be done at least every couple of weeks. And have you also never checked the tyre treads?

    Yes. Look on each internal door panel for label, for size, load and pressure required.

    As a quick guide front should be 29 PSI and rear depending on load 29 - 38 PSI

    But please check yourself.

    The garages just guess. If I have a tyre fitted I always check the pressures when I get home. They are always nowhere near what they should be. Always well underinflated.
