red corrado16v 0 Posted June 21, 2005 What tyre pressures do you recommend to run @ on standard 185/55/15 tyres ? Owners manual recommendes 38 front 32 rear but that seems a bit excessive ? is this causing my tracking camber problems(see last topic) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted June 21, 2005 I thought the standard tyres on the valvers were 195's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red corrado16v 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Just looked in VW manual and it lists both 185/55/15 or 195/50/15 as standard fit tyres,Car had these tyres on when purchased so last owner must have gone for cheapest option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted June 21, 2005 Ahh ok, I stand corrected. Your tyre pressures shouldn't cause any pulling from one side to the other so long as they're both the same pressure. If they are over-inflated then the car won't be gripping the road properly and you'll get wear in the middle of the tyre and not the edges. If they're under inflated then you'll be getting excessive drag and the steering will feel very heavy. You'll also get wear on the outsides of the tyres before the middle. If the car feels unstable at speed and wanders in no particular direction, then I'd say it's going to be your rear axle bushes. They really do transform the car when they're changed. However, as this is all a related problem, it's probably going to help you if you keep everything in one post - that way people can see what you've tried and what has been suggested before, so I'm going to lock this one up.
