I usually start at 32 front and 30 rear then adjust from there.

My Rover Cooper on 13x7's with Dunlop 195x45 is happy at that, but the wifes almost identical Rover on 13x7's with Goodyear 175x50 is better at 34 front and 32 rear. I run the Mini K van on standard 10's at 28 all round (a little higher when loaded).

Thanx, Spaceboy.

Search is your friend. 8)

I run 32 rear and 34 front to accomodate the extra weight of the engine and am quite pleased with it.

30f, 28r I think that's nice.

Don't take someone's word for it though - adjust your pressures at some point and drive it - if it's too bumpity for you then lose 1 or 2psi and try again and see what you think.

I decided on 30f and 28r because it still gives a smooth ride and my tyres wear evenly.
