Hi guys at the garage now and have got my new 18" monza II's on, what pressure should the 225/40/18 tyres be done to?

Check the inside of your fuel cap. Will say on there.

Danno mate. Just checked mine for you though, 2.4 bar all round under normal load or 2.6 front and 3.0 rear under heavy load.  :happy2:

Close enough. I think 2.4 bar is 34 psi  :smiley:

my ED30 had 18 inch Monza on as is an eu import and it says on the fuel cap 2.6 bar under normal load which i think is 37.8 psi which sems really high but i presumed this was correct because of the 40 profile?

Mine are at 36 PSI, as given in the fuel flap.

.
I inflate (my tyres!) to 37 psi and run a TyreSure monitor. You'd be surprised how much fluctuation there is during a drive.

....My review here:   http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,8314.0.html

It might seem like a luxury gadget but I'm surprised how much I appreciate it. Was without it for a few days once and I missed it badly!
