Tyre pressure
« on: 29 March 2012, 15:43 »
Hello I have gti 18 turbo it's sat on 225/40/r18 what tyre pressure do I run please ? I seem to have noticed I get quite a lot of road noise but never having had gti before or quite so much tread down I'm not sure what to expect as car is lowered to ?
Scotty ,my ride is a 2000 plated 1.8 gti turbo .forge dump valve. Decat 6" downpipe. Stage 2 chipped and remapped by AMD . Piper cross air induction totalling 205 bhp of fun at the wheels !

I'd say 32 front bit less in the rear unless loaded. And these are Cold pressures. Not after driving as pressure increases after tyre gets warm.

I had the same size tyres and ran standard pressures.
