Just wondering what tyre pressures everybody runs in their leon's,

I always run 38psi rear and 39psi front,
I played about with the tyre pressures, changing them and driving it over about 800 miles between 25psi and 43psi, and found these to be the optimum for performance, comfort suffers a little but i dont really care about that!!,

Just wondered if any one else has tried different tyre pressures and what results you have come up with

I used to keep my tyres at that. Appart from being told I set my car up like a german, apparently they favour high tyre pressures, the front's don't last very long. I only got about 6k out of the fronts. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/frown.gif I'm trying 35 all round now but I think I'm going back up again because I don't like the feel of it. F**k tyre wear...
