Lower profile tyres and tyre pressure

Hi,

I am changing my front tyres from a profile 45 to 40, and rears from 40 to 35 on my Z8,

Would the tyre pressure needed remain the same ?

Regards,

Russell.

As a general rule, the lower the profile, the higher the pressure.

So I would increase them a few PSI.
