    Hi all,

    Checked tyre pressures today after owning the mini for around a week and they were at 36psi all round, looking at the sticker on the drivers side door area the recommendation is 47psi front and 44psi rear with 2 people in the car, this seems very high, what are others running in terms of pressures?

    Thanks

    They are set unusually high if I recall but 44 sounds a little on the high side. I can’t mind what I had my run flats set at but if that’s what the manual says I’d try it and see how it feels
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Thanks EcosseGP, I’ve set the pressures 1 psi below what the stick advised so 46psi front and 43psi rear and see how it goes I guess

    I’ve come to the jcw after being an Audi TT addict since 2010, 7 TT’s owned during this time from mk1-mk3

    The V6 was a heavy car and tyre pressures were much lower that the jcw
