VW Self Study Program, Document 541 - Tyre Pressure Monitoring Program How often do you check the tyre pressures on your own vehicle? Answer: like so many drivers, probably rarely and, for example, only before you set out on holiday or when you notice that a tyre has obviously lost pressure. In...

T6 or T6.1 ? You can activate indirect TPMS for free (software required) that uses ABS sensors to detect tyre deflation or you can install direct TPMS to get actual pressure values

Between 36-40 is the sweet spot in our testing. 36 has always been spot on with perfect tyre wear, up to 40 when fully loaded. GY F1 is our recommended tyre, but never found an inside with any tyre running this pressure. 44 is too high

...for what they are meant for. When new they are quite quiet but get noisier as the mileage goes up. The other thing to look at is tyre pressures are they correct. Often Off Road tyres are built much tougher than normal road tyres they may have additional bracing and plies they are often XL...

Aren’t you contradicting yourself in this post?

Will do, it’s also been very hot here lately so again I did wonder if that’s affecting the tyre pressures

Hi, I have a T6 T32 with full camper conversion. It has 8J x 17" alloys with 215 x 60 x 17 tyres (Michelin Agilis cross climates) Steve at CRS lowered the van by 60mm with Evo Teknik springs and Koni short shocks. What would you all recommend i set the tyre pressures at? Thanks, Gary.

I had the exact same on my T32 with those tyres and 44psi. Tyres lasted 8k. Fronts always looked low so wouldn't want to drop pressure any more. Van lowered too and correctly aligned. Never found an answer. Now running 235/55/18 at 41psi and hoping it doesn't happen again.

Pressure would depend on the tyre size of your General Grabber AT3 and if they are a different size to what was recommended or fitted by the manufacturer.

How did you find tyre wear at this pressure? I've just had to swap my fronts early for excessive wear on both outer edges suggesting the pressure at 36 was too low for my make of tyre. I'm trying the new set at 44 just to see if wear will be more even.

For a light load on the original 215/60R17 tyres recommended 56 front and 47 rear. For heavy load it was 58/58. The online Tire Pressure Calculator app puts 47 psi on 215/60R17 as 37 psi on 235/55 R18. The converter doesn't give a figure for 56 psi and the relationship is not linear, but it is...

I also wonder if particular tyre, its design manufacturer etc might be more inclined to sympathetic resonance at certain speed with certain road topography. Varying the pressure may possibly change the speed of interaction or force. Some tyre types etc may damp out resonance more than others...

...up to seal the rim and forget! Though I am asked and someone supposedly adjusts them, Pull over a very short distance away check tyre pressures and think did he use a pressure gage or just do the look test because even when they ask they are nowhere near what they are supposed to be and no...

this discussion is based on direct TPMS (which requires sensors in each wheel) it is possible to activate indirect TPMS on any vehicle that doesn’t require any wheel sensors, it won’t give you exact pressures but it will let you know if one tyre start to lose pressure

How did you get on with the BFG (245/65/R17) tyres - where they on a T6? Sorry if I missed that bit. Thanks

Pressure washed underneath, lano guarded (miserable job at roadside) and fitted belly pan. And inflated tyres, rock and roll!

My van, a T5.1, is on the stock Colmar 16” wheels with Hankook R28e tyres in the 215/65 size. These are commercial rated tyres and despite having had Koni SpecialActives fitted with OE springs - allegedly the best set up for comfort… the ride is hideous. Better after the shocks but still crashy...

T6 or 6.1? Pretty sure they have different systems, T6 uses the abs wheel speed sensors and tyre rotation, where T6.1 uses actual pressure sensors in the valves.

Hi all, i have an ex-RAC T6 with 20 inch wheels, the passenger side tyre is wearing on the outside edge. I have had alignment checked and tyre pressure are at 42 psi. I've never seen wear like this on any vehicle before, anyone with any idea. Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Everyone, Hope you are well. Forgive me if someone has addressed this in an earlier thread. I have a T6 Transporter and the tyre pressure monitor light came on. My usual "Go To" Independent Garage discovered the Error Code and suggested that I need to go to a Dealer to get it reset...
