I asked this question a few weeks ago and no one seems to know.

I've ran 2.1 bar front & 1.9 bar rear - 2.2 bar front & 2.0 bar rear, both have been fine.

On the Anni the recommended tyre pressure is 2.1 bar front & 1.9 bar rear the same as all mk4's and that has 18's as standard
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
