What tyre pressure?

Car has 225x40x18 wheels on it, not the original size - so what pressures should I now put in?

Play it by feel. Start 30/30 and adjust according to what feels best.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
