I've just taken the summer tyres off and binned them as they were really old and cracking. They all had worn on the edges of the tread because I have been running them at 24psi for years. I'm hoping now that the winters will wear evenly? |

The manual that came with the car gives the correct MANUFACTURES recommended tyre pressures and these are the pressures you should use. It is as simple as that. Any higher and your steering becomes light as less tyre on the surface of the road coursing more tyre wear to the centre of the tyre. Any less and it becomes heavy as more tyre is on the surface of the road coursing more wear to the sides of the tyre. BOTH also effect the speedo, fuel economy and braking.

Generally a pound or two either way does not seem to have much effect. In the real world, however, I'm willing to bet that very few tyres are regularly checked and are running at the optimal pressures.-- Folk have a tendency to put some air in them when they notice, by accident, that the tyre looks a little flat.--- A few tyre manufacturers say what they think the tyre pressure should be for their tyres. Some folk have even been known to say---The pressures not too bad as it's only flat at the bottom.-- |

Why does it give a different PSI for the 2.0 diesel and CDTI ? Aren't the CDT and CDTI identical apart from an engine remap? (for speeds above 100 mph - 160 km/h)

The curb weight of the CDT is 1485Kgs. The curb weight of the CDTi is 1585kgs. For some reason in gained 100kgs

I use a different TP table, which mentions various tyre sizes and associated variations in pressure.
