Recommended pressure* (PSI) according to owners manual:
- 16 front, 27 rear

Maximum pressure (PSI) according to stock tires:
- 36 front, 36 rear

Maximum pressure (PSI) according to current tires:
- 44 front, 51 rear

So, plugging in the numbers with my method:
- ((16 + 36) / 2) * (44 / 36) front
- ((27 + 36) / 2) * (51 / 36) rear
or
- 31.78 front, 44.63 rear


* The above is for one or two passengers. For fully laden:


Recommended pressure according to owners manual:
- 19 front, 27 rear

So, plugging in the numbers with my method:
- 33.61 front, 44.63 rear
