    Tyre Pressure

    Well, i've found that the steering is heavier with the Yokohamas I have on at the moment, which I like to be honest as I can feel the road and, to be honest, I feel slightly reassured by virtue of a more weightier steering. Tho it might have something to do with the fact that my Arosa's a TDi, which inevitably means the front end is weighted down quite a bit for a small car. I did find with my old Conti Sport Contacts that they weren't as good in the wet as the Yokohamaz...in fact the steering felt very light, but to be honest, I didn really pay much attention to the PSi then, so that may have affected the handling and braking.

    Tyre Pressure

    Hi Guys, Sorry for the late reply guys, iv bin extremely busy at work, no thanks to the HMRC blunder...and no i don't work for them, or the Government at all. But...I appreciate the feedback...its great to hear other people's opinion. I must admit, for this week's commute...I tried a little more PSi, 34 fronts and 30 backs to be precise. I know that 34 is more than recommended, but the car seems to run quite well. Under hard braking the car seems more composed and cornering seems better especially as I find I can feel the road better...if that makes sense. However, im in a little bit of a dilemma...and this strictly is wandering off the post at a tangent but i desperately need some advice. I've been thinking for a while of buying a slightly bigger car (not too big as I really don't need that much extra space), and i've come across a Seat Ibiza TDi 130. And now im not sure because to afford the Ibiza with insurance would mean selling the Arosa...has anyone on here ever driven/sat in an Ibiza TDi who can let me know their opinion?? Any feedback appreciated, as always. Thanks.
  3. Hello Guys, Im new to this site, found it through the wonders of Google!! I've had a Seat Arosa TDi for over 2 years now, and absolutely adore the car! However, my main problem has been how quickly I seem to be getting through tyres - @least 6/7 sets of front tyres in that time. Iv tried all sorts from Kumho right through to Continental Sport (and Winters, which by the way were horrendous). I've now got a pair of Yokohamaz on the front which seem to be more tractable in the wet. I need some advice on what tyre pressure to use. I used to pop in 32 PSi in the front tyres and 30 in the back, but i noticed under hard-braking the car was inclined to skid. Also, the tyres seemed not to last v.long which also begun hurting my wallet. I drive a fair distance, approx. 200 miles per week commuting to work and back so I was wondering if anyone could point out what the best tyre pressure to use would be!! Any feedback will be greatly welcome. Thanks. P.S. will take sum pics and post as soon as the weather dries out!!
