Yokohama Parada Spec 2's at the minute John.
Will be back on the Michelins for the winter as I want the Parada's to last me at least one more Ring Trip! :happy2:

Try 2.4 F & 2.5R unloaded.

You'll need more in the fronts on a front wheel drive car - especially on the GTI.
On mine with PS2s all round, I run 44psi front, 35psi rear.

It is seriously NOT recommended to go below the recommeded pressure - as this can weaken the tyre shoulder, leading to blow-outs.

imo 2.6 is to high. 2 bar is around 29psi,2.2 bar is 32psi, 2.6 is over 37psi

But to compare a TVR with a GTI is like chalk and cheese! :jumping:
