Agree that the Octavia tows beautifully and as to hardly noticing it is there yes - in a way because you can't mistake what's in the rear view mirror - but little twitching when larger vehicles pass and hills seem effortless to the Octavia

I tow with a Mk 3 hatchback 1.5TSi DSG and go by the fuel flap notice 2.5 bars front and 3.2 bars rear. Boy is that hard when travelling a short distance at those pressures. I always adjust my pressure before and after towing - you see very few people on campsites doing the same. They either tow with under inflated tyres or drive while on camp on over inflated tyres. Neither is good for the tyres or safety.

I have to say I have largely ignored tyre pressures up until now. I won't be doing so again as I felt the Octy was far more sure footed towing with the increased pressures.
