24 has to be low, depends on car and how you like it to feel but try F/R 34/32 as a starting point.

You probably need 2-3psi more in the front, start at 34/32 and experiment from there. Between 33/30 and 35/33 is likely to be right, depending on the car and how you want it to feel.

yeah i'll try it with 34 front and 32 rear

it does feel light at the front but then again its not had enough air in the tyre from day 1 2.5 weeks ago
