Im sure this topic has been covered but getting soo many variations on recomended tyre pressures. iv got the standard aloys with michellin pilots sports all round. any ideas?
 
hummm not checked there but just checked on some sites and they vary from like 30psi all round to 32f 40r psi!!
 
when i had the avus on my s3 i used to run 34 in front and 32rear depending on passengers etc.
 
i tend to do 33psi all round. read a sight that said if doin high speed then up to 40psi on rears!!! does that sound right? wondering if i should do that as i do alot on the motorway
 
I do as it says on the fuel flap, 32 all round...
 
I would say 32 all round....
 
Measure them in the cold and then do them to 32/33 max, by the time they've expanded and heated up they will be at 36/37psi.
 
Mine are 33ish front and 35ish rears and seems to work well. Pressures should be higher if under heavy load or high speed and as my car gets to see high ish speeds pretty often and normally has crap in the boot I'd rather they were high rather than not.
