Title: Tyre Pressure help
Post by: mrt on June 19, 2008, 10:36:58 AM
1.4 2dr VW Polo Automatic, W plate.

What should the front and back tyre pressures be for normal use?   Have got the wifes car with me today and thought I better check them for her.

Should be a plate on the sill of the passenger door with the recommended pressures.

Depends on tyre size, 30 allround would be close enough.

Ask on a VW forum, someone will have the handbook on there.

It depends on the tyre alone.  Refer to tyre manufacturers guidelines.
