255/35/19 is on the Sticker on the door pillar with the other tyre pressure information.

I'm also struggling with this! I've got 235/40 18's on my Avant and the Sticker on the door says 41 on the front and 38 on the rear, but I think these pressures are for summer tyres. Seems very hard to me when driving. Does anyone know the correct pressures for this size winter tyre?

Thanks

Tried contacting the tyre manufacturer? Yokohama were very helpful when I needed to know the pressures for the non-OE size summer tyres on my C1, all they needed to know was the axle weights (actual not rated).

It will have M+S (mud & snow)by the tyre indicator plate in the door seal, as for as im aware this is to be used for winter tyres.

Really? The label on mine shows 18" and 19" Summer and Winter tyre pressures.
