I take it you mean the TPMS? If so, icenutter nailed it. In fact, the TPMS on the Golf is totally shyte - because it only actually works when the tyre has actually gone flat! - so do NOT rely on it. :wink:

People with BBS CH 18x8 s.. If you are running Michelin Pilot Sport 2 in 225x40 18.. what pressures do you find work best for 'spirited' driving?

Well, I dont have the BBS CHs, merely having the OEM MonzaII 18s - but I do use the PS2s in that size, and as someone already quoted - I run 42 front and 37 rear - and that is for some 'serious' driving! :wink: And when SWMBO uses the car, she don't moan about it being to hard or harsh either - nor do any of my oldie relations! :wink:
Mark_GTIV:
is that 42psi all round?

The part where i wrote that at 8:09.. and then went for a coffee and came back and hit reply.. and well.. you had stopped talking about Lewis Hamilton and answered at 8:14 :P :happy2:
Thanks for the reply. Actually the reason I'm specific about the CH is that they are an 8inch wheel and not a 7.5 and the PS2s seem a little stretched on the sidewall compared to when they are on a 7.5 inch. Was wondering if that made a difference to handling and pressures used.
