Morning all,
The '88 Scala needs its pressures checking, I've used an online guide before but the only ones I can find now give me the recommended numbers for standard wheels.
I'm rockin' 195 50R15 tyres, anyone got any idea of the right pressure (or know where I can find out!).
Cheers,
Carlos
Mark 2 tyre pressures, non-standard wheels

check inside the fuel cap cover for std wheels.
or haynes.
I'd run 30 psi on a 195/50 - 15 all round for general use.

Yeah, the label inside the door says 26, I was guessing around 30ish so cheers for confirming!

I've has 195/50 R15 for years and have always run 29f and 26r.
No issues with tyre wear or life.
VW dropped the pressures on later models to make the steering extra heavy!

I used to run 30 at the front and 44 at the back, but I did treat my mk2 like a van!
