Hello,

I have recently changed my wheels to 195/45 r15's the wheels were second hand but in excellent condition.

Now i was running on the standard 13" rims and so i know the tyre pressure must be different. the tyre's say max pressue is 50 but i know it cant be anywhere near that.

Is there any way of working out the tyre pressue?

1.9bar front and 2.1 bar rear

Its also listed on a sticker in your fuel filler flap

thanks for the quick reply but these are not the standard tyres, these are aftermarket alloys as stated.

Dude - i work at VW

Its 1.9bar front 2.1 back. They are a standard on the Polo GTI

and thats the pressure for them!

I was running 175/55/R13s before, and ive moved over to alloys, and thats the recommended pressure

No worries:p

1.9 BAR = 27.557 PSI

2.1 BAR = 30.458

Accurate
