Title: 19” Brescia Tyre Pressures
Post by: Beezer on 28 September 2018, 23:27

Anyone know the correct tyre pressures for the above?

Had a pressure loss warning pop up, but the tyre feels solid enough so don’t think it’s a puncture.

The sticker on my drivers door frame seems to refer to R18s.

Seems strange your's doesn't have 19s pressure data, you'd have thought the sticker would be standard? Anyway, 2.8 (41) all round except for heavy loads then 3.0 (44) front and 3.3 (48) rear.

Didn't VW up the pressures on the FL? 41 seems really high when Mk7 gtis are 36 all round.

Mine's a MK7, 36 all round is for 18s rather than 19s. Not sure about any changes for the facelift.

I'm sure it was 36 all round for 19s when the Mk7 came out.

Thanks for the help guys. Double checked my sticker and it’s definitely different to the one above.

On the left there’s no mention of tyre size. There’s the two options for loading and it shows 41 psi for standard use so that must be generic regardless of wheel size.

In the larger text at the bottom there’s a reference to R18 that was confusing me.

Anyway I’ll top them up to 41 and see how it goes.

Would be interested in this for our 19" Prets

The text at the bottom only refers to the spare tyre does it not?

That's definitely gone up - presumably the Mk 7.5.

My '14 GTD said for 225/35/19s:
39 psi F+R for normal load
42F 46R for heavy loads.

Gone up 2 psi all around, wonder why as mine's fine.

The bottom text is for the spacesaver yes.

Mine says 41psi all round. I think 44 if loaded.
I run them at 38 front 39 rear as I find it to harsh at 41.

The pressure of air in a tyre is what is required to support the weight of the vehicle. It makes no difference what size or shape of tyre the air is contained in.
