What load rating are your tyres? The Leon is quite a heavy car so with 40 profile tyres I'd say you'd be better with an XL (extra load) tyre at 32psi.

Might be tempted by a touch more pressure if they are lower load rating (think for "Y" rated tyres the load index is 88 for standard tyres and 92 for XL)
