Correct Tyre Pressures

[StevieB]

There seems to be a little conflict, between the B-Pillar sticker and the handbook for tyre pressure (2016 model standard 18" rims).

B-Pillar sticker seems to indicate 2.4bar (35psi) under 120kph for all tyres and 2.6bar (38psi) over 120kph for all tyres.

Handbook seems to indicate 2.4bar front and 2.6 bar rear, regardless of speed.

Which is it? I've gone for 2.4 front and 2.6 rear, and it seems OK.

Anybody else any thoughts?

Thanks.

2014 model 4hs and I run with 2.4/2.6 front to rear. Only had pressures indicating a drop on a very cold mo Ning. Did a 5 mile round trip and decided to check again (after a cup of tea) and no light. All were down about 2 psi and we pumped up again. Never had to check since (well most likely tomorrow, Sod's law) and we've had a few ice warning mornings in the last week or so (just outside Durham), also you could always use same airline (an electric digital one that you can set to say 1 psi above required) so you have consistency.

I've got 40 psi on all wheels and am happy. There is a difference between tyres too, it is sometimes suggested that winter tyres should run 2 psi higher than summer tyres. Your tyre specialist should be able to give you advice.
