RE: Tire Pressure The pressure number on the sidewall of the tire is the MAXIMUM tire pressure, NOT what you should normally be running. For Westies the later models, for stock 185R14 C or D rated tires VW suggests 43 front, 53 rear and for the 20570s 30 front, 40 rear. I've found the 43/53 figure (or just above) to give, at least for me, the best driving. And wear is even. |
