Less tyre pressue, better traction???
Agreed!
not necessarily, I have found the PS2's prefer to have higher pressures (counterintuitive but seems to work)  :happy2:

....Label on the fuel cap : -



2.4 bar = 35 psi (as near as damn it).

^^^^ isnt it more for 18" alloys though, Robins were factory fit 17's and be different pressures?

Im running Vreddesteins, and they reccomend set pressure of 40psi for their assymetric tyres

Yeah i was told that about the vreds. but surely that pressure depends on the weight of the car, not just a gineric  pressure for all. I dropped the pressures on mine though to about 34psi

i dont think there is any thing wrong with the car at all , my CCstage 1 ed 30 would spin the wheels in 5 th gear in the wet / greasy roads its just the torque and front wheel drive thats 1 of the reasons i went for the S3 it was that or vwr lsd , S3 intercooler , S3 brakes etc......

....Yes, my GTI was originally on Monza 17's but I think that the label inside the filler cap is the same on Monza 18 cars ex factory.

I'm running GY Assymetrics on OZ 18's at 37psi and all is very good.
