Can someone with factory 18" wheels look at their door sticker?

My car came from the factory with 17" wheels but the dealer put the 18s on before delivery. My problem is, the door sticker is still for the 17s so I don't know the pressures I should be using ... and get this, the dealer techs are so screwy they keep setting my tire pressures to the 17" pressures from my door pillar sticker. No wonder they can't fix any of the issues I bring my car in for.

I think I started a thread on this before but can't pull it up in a search.

Can somebody check their sticker and see what the >100mph and <100mph cold pressures are?

Thank you.

33 PSI (230 KPA) front/38 (260 KPA) PSI rear on the sticker on the door.

I'm looking in the manual now for >/< 100 MPH

It would also depend on the type of driving you do. Do you want comfort or better handling?

Owner's manual indicates that there is a sticker inside the fuel flap that shows recommended pressure for 100+ MPH driving.

I just checked, and the sticker inside the flap has only the same info as the B-pillar sticker: 33 PSI F/38 PSI R.

Anyone else know?

Not 100% certain about the 18" but my 17" sticker says +5psi for >100MPH. I seem to recall +9psi on the 18's but I can't find it written anywhere....

Thanks a ton guys. I'm writing it down in the manual this time so I can reference it again.
