hey all,
am running standard ibiza cupra wheels on my car. the little info sticker on the petrol flap says that i should be running 2.2 bar front and rear, as i rarely have more than 2 people in the car and little extra weight.

thing is though the front tyres look like theyre a bit flat, even though they show up on pressure testers as being 2.2

theyre toyo t1-rs if that makes a difference

just wondering what pressures everyone else runs and whether they think it looks a little low?

thanks

I run 2.2 bar/32 PSI. Any more and I find there isn't enough grip seeing as the tyre profile is so low anyway. There's quite a weight difference between the front and back of the car so the front will usually look flatter.

i don't think the toyo's have reinforced walls so evidently the tyres will look flatter...the p-zero's look a tad better as they're reinforced
