OK chaps.

I have a standard vRS (53 plate)(hatchback) with the standard 17 inch wheels.

What should the correct tyre pressures be?

One looks a bit low to me and my handbook is at home.

i run mine at 32psi on the front and rear... i think this is slightly higher than the recommended pressure of about 28-30psi but i like my tyres a little bit harder.

I have 16" tyres on mine, and run them at 30psi. When I bought the car off the previous owner, he had 55psi all round!!! Way too hard, rattles your fillings loose and no grip in corners... keep it around 30-ish and you'll be fine

My octy has the pressures for variuos different yre types inside the fuel filler, have you looked there? :confused:

mine are just about flat at the bottom

:eek: I'd say that felt good going around corners in the wet

If someone would like to post the data on the filler flap, I will put it into a FAQ. It's probably the same as that for my 4X4 but I don't want to publish incorrect info for want of checking. I'm off to check mine now.....
