Tyre Pressures

[pedro-tdi]

Hi any one know the tyre pressures for a 130 TDI wiv 205/45/16 tyres, carnt seem to find them in the owners manual.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pedro.

32 PSI all round I think, but it should be on a sticker on the back of the filler cap flap.

My FR with the same wheels states 33psi at the front and 32psi at the back.

 

[robepton]

I put 32 in all round. However i think some people put less in at the back because you've got a lot less weight over the axle.

should be listed on the inside of the fuel filler cap

As mentioned above - the sticker on the filler cap will answer definitively, but i'm 99.9% sure it's 33 psi front and 30 psi back.

I put 32 front and 30 rear because of weight distribution

 

[stezo2k]

i never thought about having different pressures at the front and back, sounds like a great idea for weight distribution i usually run mine at 30 each. i wonder if use whats recoommended i'll get a few more miles out of the tank. sounds like its worth a try

Definitely 33psi front, 30psi back, unless your heavily laden

You need to check what's listed on the filler cap.

SEAT have worked out the pressures for each car based on their axle weights and tyre sizes. The 33/30 combo listed above is ideal for cars with 205/45/16 tyres, this doesn't mean it will be any good on other models with different sized tyres

Actually, i got the impression that tyre pressure is the same regardless of tyre size/profile/width etc... as pressure isnt the same as 'amount of air'. But I agree that it differs between axle weights The 33/30 combo is good for TDi 130's, that i know!

Then again im always willing to be proven wrong!

 

[Leigh15]

This isn't the case - if you check the tyre pressure data plates, different pressures are listed for different tyre sizes

I never noticed there is an information plate on the fuel flap! So 32/30 is not a bad guess!

I`ve always gone off what looks and feels right for the profile of the tyre, making sure I have good contact and handling without too much bulge. Well there you go!

But by following the manufacturer`s guidelines you can`t go wrong.

just got to hope the tyre guage is calibrated corectly.

True, I do mine in work where the gauges are sent for calibration reguarly, and I use nitrogen which is more stable.
I never trusted the gauges at petrol stations because they get slammed about, but I see them more commonly on the control panel itself now so its probably not as bad.

Definatley 33 front 30 back.
