4 such tyres at 29 psi can support a gross weight of 1580 kg .

At 34 psi , they support a gross weight of 1800 kg .

So you are fine with 34 psi , if ride isn't harsh for you .

I would personally give 36 psi a try , for fuel economy .

Note: Your car tare (empty) weight is probably around 1000 kg .

In that case I’ll give it a few tries on different pressures.

I’m the type who prefers comfort driving  icon_rolleyes.gif

However, should I add the front tyres pressure slightly higher than the rear since the load is higher at the front?

Ps Ke70 is a rear wheel drive.

Front axle of typical Japanese passenger car like this is likely to carry more load than rear .

Attached below is a load table applicable to you , namely

Minimum tyre pressure of 2.0 bar is 200 kpa which is also equals to 29 psi .

The speed rating T means this tyre is designed for speed 190 km/hr at a tyre air pressure of 270 kpa aka 39 psi .

what is the psi, associated with 1000kg of load, per ts' tire size?
*
TS Dunlop tyre each has a load capacity of 395 kg per tyre at 200 kpa and 415 kg per tyre at 210 kpa .

Hence , a total load capacity of 4 X 395 kg = 1580 kg at tyre pressure of 200 kpa for all 4 tyres , or 415 kg X 4 at tyre pressures of 210 kpa .

The spec does not provide for load capacity at tyre pressures lower than 200 kpa .

Nope , this table from TRA/USTMA is meant for P175/70R13 i.e tyre for American market .
TS Dunlop SP Sport J5 175/70R13 (Without prefix P) is meant to comply with European spec ETRTO .

This tyres are rated with a load index of 82 which gives us 475kgs per tyre.

This is the rating if you’re at the max allowable pressure of the tyre right? Which is 44 psi, written on the side wall.

Therefore at 44 psi your load carrying capacity is at 475kgs per tyre x 4 = 1900kgs.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

And,
How do u find the load capacity associated with different tyre pressures bro?

Dunlop designs your tyre for a load of :
a ) 395 kg at (minimum cold) air pressure of 200 kpa ;
b ) 415 kg at ............................................210 kpa ;
c ) 430 kg at ............................................220 kpa ;
d ) 445 kg at ............................................230 kpa ;
e ) 460 kg at ............................................240 kpa ; and
f ) 475 kg at .............................................250 kpa ,
all of above which with a limit of maximum road speed at 160 km/hr .

Beyond 160 km/hr road speed , Dunlop designs this tyre for higher road speed up to a maximum road speed of 190 km/hr at a cold tyre air pressure of 270 kpa aka 39 psi as per table above .

At maximum allowable cold air pressure of 44 psi , Dunlop is expressly silent on its load capacity IMHO .

Hence 475 kg load capacity is at designed minimum air pressure of 250 kpa aka 36 psi and above .
