Tyre Pressure Confusion

[KXL]

Just for comparison got an A3 1.0 MHEV running 225/45/R17, weight listed as 1280kg, recommended tyre pressure for all 4 tyres on '3 passengers 1 luggage' is 36psi all around,

Interesting, presuming that's 'eco' - not 'comfort'?
You have the same tyres as mine and your 100 +kg lighter - and my recommended pressures are 3psi lower

Hi I’m new on here! I recently brought my seat Leon fr 1.8 tsi 2015 3 door! Very happy with it! It came with the tyres pressures at 39 all round! Which surprised me when I checked the tyre pressure! I lowered this down to 33 all round! Cars been great with just front passengers in the car! Today we went out for the day 2 adults and kids. The car felt really heavy in the back! So went to the garage and pumped them up to 39 again! Cue the really bad road noise! The car still felt really heavy the back! Seat label says 38 41 when pressure laden! Has anyone found a good pressure to cater for weight in the back?

I guess that the A3 has softer suspension, which should make the 36psi all around feel better than on a Leon FR.
