What PSI is everyone running on?
« on: 20 October 2013, 19:33 »
As the title says really,

I'm currently on 195/65/r15s, in the fuel filler flap VW recommend 27 psi but that seems incredibly low, I'm on 29 at the moment but talking to the bloke repairing my puncture he said he would be running around 31 and nothing lower?

what do you think, pros and cons?!
