Tyre pressures on 18s
« on: 24 September 2010, 17:33 »
I was just wondering what psi or bar you guys were putting in your tyres. I checked mine this week and they were at front 30 and rear 33.
Looking at the fuel flap mine says 38psi or 2.6 bar I think all round and my previous mk5 with 18 also said 2.4 bar all round. So was wondering what is best. The car came fitted with dunlops this time and was wondering with different compounds and tyre making that they might require more pressure than my previous bridgestones.

37-38ish on the GTD as per flap, tyres seem to be wearing well at that pressure too. 8500 miles.
