This thread shows a couple of cars with R32 brakes running 17" wheels, although they're not Monzas.

38.0 psi or 2.6 bar.

I check them every week, it is ingrained.

Don't forget though that numbers on the fuel flap are actually just a 'recommendation'.  That means that those pressures on the flap are a 'one size fits all', for the 'mr average' driver.  If your vechicle loading, or more likely, driving style, actually differs from 'mr average' then it is perfectly acceptable (and legal) to tweak the recommended pressures.  So, because your tyres a wearing more heavily on the shoulders, I would suggest you actually need to increase the pressures on the front a little more.  On my GTI, I actually run the fronts at 42psi, and the rears at 37psi - and get a perfectly level and flat wear rate across the width of the tread.

Just this wheel had been the air supply for 4 good caliper bleeds.

Yes, yes, I got that!  :tongue:  :smiley:

I have upped the pressures to 40 psi.  I will see how they feel, and what the wear is like over a period.

Cheers for the advice TT.
