I run 2.2 (32 psi) all round
let us know how you get on ...

No - NEVER run below the manufacturers recommeded setting -which is 35psi front, and 35psi rear!

Inside my fuel flap says 2.6 bar front and rear, fully loaded 2.8 and 3.2! :surprised:
Hence I run at around 38 - 40psi.

I think on the other forum, there was a thread on different tyre pressure stickers on identical spec GITs - did you GTI come with 17s as standard?

On a spirited drive I can see my pressures come up by around 4-6PSI depending on the weather, by that same reckoning, you'd be near or at the maximum limit of 50PSI and serious risk of tyre failure.

What an utter load of bollox! I supposed you think I should get locked up for attempted manslaughter by running 85psi in my bicycle tyres!
HTF can 44psi be dangerous? What about the 61psi in the space saver - do we have to have a 'Hazardous Substance' warning sticker on our tailgates!
The mind boggles how you can even post such statements! :stupid:

I think he was talking about the maximum limit printed on the side of the tyres. IIRC, they state you should not exceed 50psi.
I think the confusion arises about the 50psi:
- is it 50psi when the tyres are cold?
or
- is it 50psi max (which means that potentially 50psi could be reached and breached if the tyres are say at 48 psi and then the pressure increases due to temp when driving)?

^^^^
Re tyre temperatures, I'm finding it fascinating how much the tyre temps vary during a drive via my TyreSure TPMS.

Some manufactures recommend their own Psi settings.
Vedesteins must be 40psi as ive been told by the retailer.
