In the manual for a 1993 900 CSE, the pressures are F&R:


                        205/60/15    205/50/16    

1-3 occupants 0-120 mph ... 32          35
Max load/0-120              32          38
Max load/120-               39          43

Since 205/55/16 is not listed here, I would go half way between those.
