Tire Pressure Question

I have a 06 MCS which came with 17"wheels and tires. Despising these, I switched to 15 inch wheels. I just had Michelin X-Ice snows put on, size
175/65/R15. The tire pressure info inside the driver's door only applies to 17" tires. Can anyone tell me what the pressure should be for the 15" tires I have now? Thanks in advance.

Your manual should show a full table of options.

In my '04 manual the 175/65-15 shows 30 front/35 rear (which seems a little strange), or when at max capacity, 35/35

It also shows a 175/60 for the MCS, but with pressures at 36/36
(2 occupants) and 41/41 at max capacity. Those seem quite high. The other tables have the same pressures for both the Cooper and S.
