okay dude there should be a recommended tyre pressure range on the side of all of the tyres. Usually says XXX - XXX psi MAX or something like that.

If not then you'd better tell us the brand and model tyre too, coz all tyres have different compounds and slightly different optimum pressures. Go have another look.

Guys - the pressure written on the sidewall is the MAX PRESSURE ONLY! That is the maximum pressure that that tyre can withstand (usually a fair bit higher than what it should be running for everyday driving).

For normal everyday driving, check the tyre placard on the door jam. From memory it is about 32psi front and 29 rear COLD. This should be sufficient for all tyres at 185/60/14. I know you said you couldn't see any numbers, but look again, they are there in kPa.

You shouldn't be mixing your tyres either, it is potentially quite dangerous. As far as I know it is illegal to have 2 different tyres on the same axle. This is for safety reasons - different tread patterns have different grip levels, and in an emergency braking situation, this could cause you to go into a spin.

Either have the same tyres on each axle, or better yet have all four tyres matching. And always have the best 2 tyres on the front. If you have a blowout on the rear, you'll be ok, but if you have one on the front, you have no steering, then you're screwed.

1 atm = 1.01325 bar = 101.3 kPa = 14.696 psi

using simple algebra, you get 1kPa ~ 0.14507403 psi
so you can use a calculator, and the readings on your tyre, to work out how much psi you can put into your tyres.
