Mine’s a 290 and I used to get the same! Always use Shell V Power too. Strange...

Now to find a splitter...

I always full up with V Power too. Wait until they bed in and see how it goes.

Now for a splitter, get yourself onto EBay and order the Reiger one from onlineauto. They are the only resellers in the UK. You can’t buy direct from Reiger.

Have you checked your pressures?

Good thinking. Most Tyre fitters don’t seem to be too concerned over making sure the tyre pressures are correct for your car.

I remember having to alter mine after having my tyres changed. Oh and remember to reset the tyre monitoring system on the infotainment system once you have them at the pressure you want.

They didn’t check the pressures after fitting them so I did them myself straight after! Fingers crossed it’s just a combination of new tyres and colder weather?

I’ve also kept the previous tyres as they had plenty of tread left on them (I just wanted a new decent matching set!) so if it continues I’ll swap them back and see if it goes back up!

Once you get used to the grip of the PS4S tyres you will only be swapping them for more PS4S tyres.

I really like my tyre place... he handles my wheels like they are newborn babies, torques them on properly by hand. Just everyone gets 32psi no matter what you drive.

Hello and welcome.

If you’re looking for splitters TRC are decent for the price. Other subtle mods could include diffusers, spoiler extensions or side skirt extensions.
