I think the bigger question is which dealership you get the air from.

  What's all this 'bar' stuff?  That how many bars you can hit before you have 
to check your tyre pressure?
  Us Yankees want to know kilopascals ;)

    Just returned from the Italian/French mountain passes. Loads of fun, even 
with a fully laden Kia Rio I was repatriating, also thanks to the climate 
control on board. If you are returning during the weekend I strongly advise you 
to avoid the Toll roads and Motorways, they may be very crowded and slow, are 
expensive, very, very boring and the services and meals are lousy.
    Tap in "avoid motor ways and/or toll roads" on your (up to date!!!!) GPS or 
smart phone and enjoy the really excellent secondary and smaller roads. It will 
take a bit longer but is so more pleasant with nice places to see, many 
excellent small restaurants, hotels on the way, plenty of arm muscle exercise 
and the petrol is way cheaper. Just be aware that petrol is mainly sold along 
the road near the larger towns and at the hyper markets e.g. Intermarch?, very 
well indicated beforehand often near industrial estates. Do carry a 10 litre 
jerrycan with petrol, just in case.
    Tyre pressure also depends on temperature, I had over 40?C with tarmac 
melting. I would settle for around 2bar for this size of tyre in general.

      Hi
      Getting the car ready for a drive to the South of France taking in the 
Route des Grandes Alpes all the way to Menton. Then back mostly on Motorways.
      So the drive will be a mixture of Motorways and Mountain Pass Roads.
      Question therefore is what Bar Pressure should I put in for the different 
roads.
      I have 72 spoke wheels all fitted with relatively new Vredestein Tyres 
185/70, HR15, 89H
      As usual I look forward to the benefit of your collective wisdom
      Many thanks
