Tyre Pressure (yes that old chestnut)

[wheelwright]

Got a 65 plate ST Fr 184 with 18" Seat alloys, so whats the correct tyre pressure?

I only ask as my alloys were fitted by dealer and not @ factory, i have read the tyre pressure info inside fuel cap only applies to vehicles with alloys fitted @ factory.

Info on mine says 36psi front & back (for comfort) is this 17" pressure or 18"?

cheers in advance WW

I can't speak for the st but my 5 dr on 18's says 29

I have the same car, with 18" performance alloys. After another thread and a discussion with a dealer and tyre fitter 33 PSI seems to be the correct pressure.

What pressure is stated inside the fuel cap then?

33:



There was a thread about this a while ago. Seat CS told me 29 PSI but others were told different pressures for the 18" wheels. Some people had different fuel filler stickers which further confused the issue. In the end I called the service dept of the selling dealer and he confirmed the sticker was correct for my car.

When I had my alignment done a few weeks ago the fitter said 33 is fine for the car with a 'standard' load. That's what the alignment machine displayed when he was doing the set up.
