The different size your seeing there is the spare wheel size! The quoted pressures are correct for the Cupra 19's!

However, I run my Michelin Ps4s at 36 front, 34 rear!

I know it’s not directly answering the question, but I thought it worth posting as others may be interested in the settings for the other variants. For my 280ST the recommended settings are

Why? And how does it feel?
Just seemed to be the general consensus on what's best for the Michelin's! I ran them at 39 and found myself correcting the wheel alot at motorway speed! Plus they were still spinning like a twat in 2nd under WOT!

I was very surprised though to feel how much better they ride than the Pirellis at stock pressure, bumps and lumps are soaked up much better!

Interesting you mention this, as I recently re-corrected my tyre pressures since the temperature dropped back up to 39 front and 38 rear, I think they were around 36 and 34 before I did so. The road noise and general ride quality was noticeably worse after upping the pressure. I can’t confirm whether the overall grip changed, although the ease at which the back end can be coerced into lift off oversteer was improved, much to my approval however, I am still running the old bridgestones on the back (mpss on the front). Both will be replaced with PS4s’ in the coming months so I expect that behaviour may change.
