Default Tyre Pressures

I've finally got my mini back after a trip into a ditch at the start of Jan. While it's been away i've been busy on ebay sorting my selve out with some proper bargains! Brand new eibach lowering springs for £90, and an mint set of 18"jcw alloys with runflats for an amazing £500!

Anyway, now I'm back on the road, I thought I'd check my tyres pressures, but now I have the 18's on the car, the handbook doesn't cover the tyre pressures?

Any know what the correct tyre pressures for these rims?

The tyre pressures should be on a sticker inside the drivers door aperture, I'll have a look on mine when I get home. I have 18" rims on mine with non run flats and run at 31.5 psi front and rear.

The door sticker only shows the pressures for the standard alloy 'n' tyres combo's. Now I've got the 18" jcw's I just wondered of the pressure should be any different from the standard 2.3psi?
