What size tyres you got on?

If they're 205 55 16's, then the factory/manual figures are 2.1 BAR at the front & 1.9 at the rear.  (Reduces understeer) :wink:

1.9 is right, the correct figure is actually on the inside of the fuel cap, which should be specific eg if you've got factory fit 14" or 18" rims
