Title: Tyre & Wheel Upgrade
Post by: AndyS on May 18, 2012, 02:23:38 pm

My GTI came fitted with 17" alloys with 225/45/17 tyres

I have now upgraded to 18" alloys with 225/40/18 tyres  what pressure should I put in them  :confused:

I'm running on the original 18" Monzas and my tyre pressure states 2.4bar front and rear.    :happy2:
