Stupid question, but here goes.

I rode a classic vesa where the engine in at the back wheel so my tyre pressure is higher than the front.
Most car tyres have the same specifications but should I modify the tyre pressure for the front?
Never having the smaller tyres does that affect what pressure?
And lastly does front wheel drive change anything?

Sorry for the dumb noob questions ?

if you're asking about what tire pressure you should keep them at, refer to your driver door sticker. it has exactly what they should be for the front and back.

Which I think for Australian cars is 32lbs As MydianaZ06 says check the sticker on the drivers door sill.

Cool, did not see that sticker, I've always done 32, but when I was doing the tyres to my scoot I thought its different and I wondered about the car.

I`ve found dropping the back by 2 psi to 30 has been a bit better on the rear end bounce. but that's a personal preference.

I run mine at 240 kpa which is more than Hyundai recommend, and this gives it more bite. For a car this weight I think 220 kpa is a bit sloppy. The rear suspension bump-steer lessened over time as the suspension bushes or dampers bedded in. Hardly does it at all now, even on the roughest roads.

The pressure recommended by manufacturer is designed to provide comfort.
I have always over inflated my tyres by 2-4 PSI (or 14-28 KPA) and do this when tyres are cold.
Will actually give you more grip when cornering and braking plus fuel figures should improve as there is less tyre resistance on a straight run.
