Tyre pressure's ED30?
« on: November 09, 2010, 06:31:33 pm »
Does anyone know the correct pressure's on the standard ED30 wheels?

It tells me in Bar on the filler cap but i'd like to know the figures?  I had a look at a converter and seems to come out about 37 to 4p psi? Would that be right?

I use 37psi - I set the machine to read in bars TBH but if you change the units to PSI, it comes up with 37psi. Anyway, these are recommendations. Depending on usage and/or load, you need to change these.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Interesting - when I worked it out it came to 36, hence my settings! I set mine on having no load in the back, because I rarely have rear passengers or an overloaded boot.

Or go to Google and type in
Code: [Select]
convert 2.6 bar to psi. Comes out as 37.7 psi.

37.7 is what I got.  Most of the other car I have had the tyre pressure has been about 33-35
