Doh! I was talking b*llocks:I:clown:
Curiosity got the better of me and I went out to the carpark to check.
The door pillar sticker says 2.1 bar front, 2.4 bar rear, so I also then checked my actual tyre pressure which are correct. Interesting to see two different versions for the rear though

Duncan - when I was running 15" tyres, I found that the grip increased quite dramatically when i lowered the pressure to 30 all round (as shown above). I got a good even wear rate at that pressure even with quite a bit of very hard driving.
The amount of grip on the car when i got it was very poor... dealer had given it to me with the tyres at 45psi!!
Cheers Rob. I think I will give it a go as it feels a bit "light" sometimes although it holds on OK.
Rob - the cars arrive with a higher pressure to increase their clearance on the transporter - part of the PDI procedure is to reduce this back to "normal" pressures - tut tut to your dealer!
Had to replace the balded tyre at my expense, plus I had a punctured rear. The tyres were months away from needing replaced so i just changed the whole lot! £580. OUCH!

Did you try Colins in Dyce? I got 17'' runflats for £117 - which would be £468 for fourquote:Originally posted by sleepyrascal
