Tire Pressures :/
« on: 18 February 2014, 21:21 »
Hi guys, this may seem REALLY dumb but I cannot for the life of me find the correct tire pressures for these wheels. A quick internet search brought up various PSI's. Its a Golf Match 2.0 TDI with the optional 17" Salamanca alloys.

I always kept them between 31/32psi but im not long back from getting a slow puncture removed and the guy pumped them all to 35psi.

Thanks in advance :)

Should tell you the recommended pressure on the inside of your fuel filler flap.  Are they the cars original wheels?

Yeah they sure are, they were one of the optional extra's, ill have a look at this tomorrow, definitely think that guy has the pressure too high, I could be wrong though.

No 34 to 38 is correct for all MK6's i think. On GTI's I run 38PSi in summer and 36PSi in winter
