Hi Goggen

The pressures to use are printed on a label stuck to the inside of the Fuel filler flap. Or at least mine are. I don't have a Cupra though.

Pressures vary depending on load (Passengers/Luggage.) If I recall, it ranges from 29-32 psi.

Cheers

depends how much does do you carry in the car, BUT also how thin is the profile of he tyre. If you are running 17" (215/45/17) it is highly reccomended to go little bitt higher cause each hole you go in will be a dissaster for the alloy wheel...

But other Fr and cupras have this (thanks to Mr.Linatsa69 for the 2nd pic)

I keep my fronts at 2.1 bar. that's what it says on the filler sticker.

On the Cupra-36/29 or 41/36 with five people onboard.

When i got my car it was 40/32,now i am driving at 39/31 and i don't find it overinflated.

Seat's recommended 36/29 sounds suspicious to me as the front is too heavy and the tyres look little flabby at 36.

This is my tyre pressures, I'm actually running 1bar higher on the front as they looked a little low:

my car was delivered with random pressures all round, lowest 23, highest 47! i now run 44 front, 39 rear to get a smaller contact patch - its a trackday thing.

My label doesn't seem right. I got the usual Pirelli P7 215/40 R17's on my Boc, noticed fuel consumption was a bit more recently and put it down to my right foot. It's usually just me in the car and so keep them at 2.1 bar, may raise this a bit.

I am amzed at the vast different in pressures being shown. I can understand that dependant on various tyre sizes it would be diferent but wow, there are some outrageous differences there guys...................... Should we get a list of them by car so BOC = so much. Cupra, FR, TDi, 1.6, 1.4 etc. I guess we should add the tyre sizes in there too.
