Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Tyre Pressures

Hi all, The tyre pressures quoted in my (German language) handbook are Front 2.4 and Rear 2.6 for my 185/65 R15 88T tyres. The pressures seem a bit on the 'high' side, and unusually the REAR tyres are higher than the front on a front wheel drive car, anyone have any comments on this ? Thanks

Not unusual, on the petrol engine 1.4l pressure on the rear tyres was also 0.2 higher then on the front ones. As I remember, it was 2.0 and 2.2 respectively, although I pumped them to 2.2 and 2.4 bar. You have the heavier engine.
