Reply With QuotePressure wise, I usually run 34 psi. 38 is too much for street driving, I run 38-40 on the track.

The tyre pressure placard in in the fuel lid... OK
Just spent 15 mins all over the car trying to find it
So recommended tyre pressures are in the 38 -40 psi range? (I dont compute kPa)

For comfort, closer to 30. For handling, closer to 40. For me, generally F:38 R:35. I had it down to 28 in the rear before I cut down the bump stops.
I tend to run lower PSI in the rear as there is so little weight over the rear wheels.

Have always done 35-38 for the crisper handling.

I've never owned anything other than VAG so I can't appreciate how different some things are. Most Aussies I talk to cant get over the fact that the wipers are on the opposite side!

On topic, tyres were at 36 back 38 front when I checked them. Not too hard for freeway driving

It's been over 2 years and I still have to think about it, a lot longer than I should. Rear wiper, nope highbeams, wiper slow, nope! wiper really fast! I still get confused, even now I couldn't tell you which is which...

High beams are the only one I have to think about since I use them the least. Everything else is second nature.
That said once I accidentally increased my set cruise control speed when I wanted to turn the stereo volume up
