Dunlop issue......

On the subject of tyre pressures I thought that the label on the inside of the fuel filler cap stated 2.5 bar (~36 psi) though I noticed that my VW dealer gave me 39 psi when I recently had new tyres.

So wouldn't 40+ psi result in uneven tread wear?

[Glad you got it sorted, Phil]

Even 2.5 bar seems a little low. I know the R is a little heavier than the GTI but mine states 3.2 Bar all round

My GTI came originally on Monza 17's and Continental tyres - Would this make any difference?

Although I do have mine all at 3.2 bar the figures on my cap suggest slightly differently

Whats is that in Psi!. Bar is not whats on the forecourt pumps!

[R32UK]

About 46 psi.

think mine were set to 44psi all round

....If you examine most forecourt pumps you'll see that by pressing a button to select bar and then punching in your bar value they will then convert that to psi and display that for the duration as your 'End' limit.

The UK is supposed to be metric!!

checked mine, and mine says the same 3.2bar

Might be 3.2 with 18" and less for the 17". Did yours originally come with 17" RR?
