235/55 R18= 129mm sidewall 205/65 R16 = 133mm sidewall 255/35 R20 = 89mm sidewall. I can see where the ‘contradiction’ idea comes from but it’s not as straightforward as saying “the 16 inch tyre has a bigger sidewall than the 18 inch” That 4 mm is not going to make a difference. The pressure...

...see how it might affect the speedometer etc with actual road speed. the other thing tyre comparison sited do is calculate what the new tyre pressure will be with any tyre size parameter. This is helpful to stay safe have the best grip and sty legal because correct pressures are a legal...

Had the "following the car in front" warning light flashing a couple of mornings ago (cruise control not activated) and this morning when I started the the ABS, ESP and tyre pressure lights have all stay on. Any ideas on whet this could be please???

...sensors (I assumed it had the wheel speed version). I never fully addressed the problem, which meant driving throughout winter with the tyre pressure warning. Unfortunately, the MOT is renewed in February, so it was either swap all the wheels back just for the MOT, or throw all the summer...

...by except for a very short time along time ago a "Blackberry"nearly called it a raspberry. By the way the method that I described for tyre pressures is a good way of determining correct pressures with different tyres and rims as it alleviates guess work and hearsay and adheres toward...

I got 30,000 miles out of a set of Michelin PS4S’ at 40psi. Not cheap tyres but I’ve used them on cars before and was interested to see how they would perform on a van. Van is fully converted and I meticulously kept them at 40psi.

Most of the comfort will come with a good suspension set-up. 40mm isn’t a big drop but on standard shocks will feel cr4p. Yes, smaller wheels with bigger side walls will help but you will notice the biggest difference by sorting the suspension. What pressure are your tyres? That can make a...

Thank you. Your are quite right I assumed that maximum load went with maximum pressure. Looking again at the tyre sidewall it does indeed state maximum load 900Kg, maximum pressure 51psi without linking the two. We had a relatively high speed run down from Cumbria to London yesterday. I set...

I also wondered how the tyres got like that. Something no right

Just wondering if anyone has any idea on tyre pressure all round please? Have a océano unit in the back so permanently have a bit of weight in but nothing crazy. Cheers

Thanks very much :)

A UK sticker, continental headlight masks, spare light bulbs and a tyre pressure gauge that doesn't need batteries. I have an electric one but the batteries are always flat when I need it. Traditional ones are getting hard to find...

...driving on 16s. My friend bought a 5.1 Shuttle on 16" steels and said that when he bought 20" wheels, the ride improved because he could run on a reduced tyre pressure compared to the 16s. He's now also lowered his van on B14 Komforts. I'm on CRS H&R coilovers and the van rides really well.

I’ve got them at 42, the badge by the door says 44, do you think that would make much difference?

.... I’m going to get them to change it . This may sound daft but I have an abs alarm as well before for this arose telling me loss tyre pressure , I have put all the pressures the same yet it will not reset and very occasional , once every 2months my needle speed differs from my digital speed ...

...12k miles and still have over 5m left, evenly worn. I’ve just come across your post after reading thru all the many pages of the 20” tyre pressure thread. I wonder whether Oli @BognorMotors or Steve @CRS Performance might have some sage advice for us rare nineteeners? Thanking you in...

I wanted to get the optimum pressure in the tyres on my golf. It had the usual sticker with a range depending on load etc. I emailed Michelin (as I had their tyres on it) and asked for their advice based on my usual load and the wheel size. They came back within a few days with a lovely email...

...have known new tyres have a slightly convex or concave tread caused by poor storage or manufacturing defect, which can replicate uneven tyre pressure causing a pull. If that happens you can get a replacement tyre under warranty. The alignment is done in a static mode so if there is any slight...

Yes, I'm aware of the ability you have with VCP to add actual tyre sizes & associated pressures etc. It's just that in the linked thread above the OP indicates that it's possible to create an 'Individual' tyre profile to which pressures can be associated with using VCDS and I just wondered if...
