Tyre pressure seems high

[Cupat]

On an 09 1.9 tdi at 39 front 36 back that's according to most web sites I use. I've also got a mk4 Golf same engine but it's 32 all round on the same size tyres ie 205/55/16. Why's the Leon more.

Someone has overfilled the tyres by accident? Drop them to 32 all around and see how it feels.

Double check with another pressure gauge first, just to check the first one was accurate.

I had them at that but every place online said it was supposed to be the higher pressure now feels to hard. So drop it down again, why would it say such a high pressure..

No idea, the tyre pressures should be in the owners manual and I think might be on a sticker in the door jam as well?

Don't trust everything you read online (said by some randomer online)

In both my Leon's the front is about 4-5 psi higher at the front (I assume cause of the weight of the engine). But whenever I have tyres fitted they always do 32psi all round. I guess cause it's the most common pressure and they don't want to adjust the equipment LOL.

Correct tyre pressure settings are on a sticker on the inside of the fuel flap.

What pressure did you run on you Cupra?

Def 41 on the front, think it's 35 on the rear. But they are 235/19s.

Tyre pressure will always be the same even if you go from 16 to 18 inch tyres. Online tells me it's higher than what the sticker on the car tells me. I went from 16s at 34 front 32 back to 18s at 34 front 32 back all cold pressure.

The pressures for mine are similar, but very different to my other cars.
