16" 205/55 Tyre Pressures

Featured Replies

Despite my best intentions not to ask stupid questions, the gods seems to be conspiring against me!! (I've already asked the "oil" question as well!!)

Firstly the sticker on the fuel filler cap is gone so no help there.

I've had a trawl through the forums here but I can only find pressures for 17" wheels or else there is conflicting information.

I've seen:

R: 2.2 bar (32psi)

F: 2.4 bar (35psi)

and

R: 2.3 bar (33psi)

F: 2.5 bar (36psi)

while a kwik-fit site gives:

R: 2.0 bar (29psi)

F: 2.1 bar (30psi)

So can someone please give me the Skoda recommended pressures for 1/2 people and also for fully loaded.

Cheers. :thumbup:

Hope this helps, mine washed off lettering with diesel spills on fuel cap so i got another from dealer and put it on the plastic bit which holds the breakdown triangle in the boot lid !

Kwik fit numbers give higher tyre wear, more comfort, and the customer returning quicker...in my experience most tyre fitters underinflate tyres and the increased wear and quicker customer return seem to be the only logical explanation.

for 2.5 TDI V6 the pressures are quite a bit higher,

driver only are 2.6f 2.4r, full load are 2.9f and 3.4r.

From autobahn experience, 3.0 bar in front and 2.8-3.4 in the rear depending on the load works very well.
