Tyre Pressure Modified GT2

Post by bluestreak56 »

Hey all,

Sorry I know this has been covered on the previous forum but I want to be completely sure im not going OTT or under...

I have a 92 GT2 with a 16v kr lump and power steering..

Naturally the label tells me pressure for the much lighter carb 8v engine..

I checked on the golf gti site and found conflicting thoughts on what pressure I should have in so I thought id ask here .. ?

Im thinking 28-32 (fronts depending on load) and 26 -28 (rears depending on load) or am I totally off?

Many thanks in advance ;)

Hi Raj, I found 32 on the front of my 16v, 30 on the rear, to be the best set up when on 6 x 15/195/50 - 15 tyres/wheels.
sticking with this now its on 195/50 - 15's on a 7 x 15 rim.
