Balls....dont I look the idiot...always thought it was on teh Drivers side.

Looks like they are a bit low then.

It's also in the manual...

For what it's worth I run around on 32psi on all four, I find I get the best economy that way. That was discovered after about 8 months of fiddling.

Oops... should probably have a look at my pressures at some point. They don't look flat...

lol....you played about with them to find that out lol?

Will pop to the garage during the week.

I've not checked mine since the Watford Gap meet... I'm sure they're fine :unsure:

How's the tyre ware? My rears appear to be wearing like they're under inflated (1mm more wear on both shoulders than in the middle - fronts are evenly wearing), despight being at 26psi - tempted to up that a couple of psi or so.

i do 35 psi on the front 28 psi on the back , mines a 1.4 tdci with 15 inches , and the car has 16000 miles on the clock and i reckon the front will need changing at 19 maby 20 thousand , that !Removed! good i think , i think thy are ventus evo somethings, omg lol tht means we done 13000 miles in 6 months omg lol thats 23000 a year !

lol i do mine ever week , i always think to mysef where does the air go lol because thy always seem to go down 2 psi over 500 miles lol

Tom - it's hard to say with any certainty, as I say I have only just to the point where I'm happy with the ride and economy. I've had 19000 miles out of the rears so far and they're even at around 4mm, so doing ok. My first set of front lasted 13K.

As an aside, fancy a convoy down to the Milton Keynes meet on the 19th of September? I'm moving to Nuneaton between now and then so we'll be near.

omg lol tht means we done 13000 miles in 6 months omg lol thats 23000 a year !

Is it?! ;)

Remember that the heat of your tyres has a large impact on the pressures in them - hotter tyres = higher pressure. Your variation could be down to how and when you check them.
