Hi!

Tires on both axles need 2,2 bar up to two passengers and 2,4 bar above that (32 psi, 35 psi resp.)

But be careful! Some tire manufacturers specify their products with up to 2,8 bar (39 psi).

Regards

Rolf

Hi Kassus

the exact size is 205/55ZR15 or better - for example 205/55WR15 (good for 280 km/h) with a pressure of 2,2 bar or 2,4 if the car is loaded with more than 300 kg.

The problem with these tires: This size is nowadays for cars like a Golf or so. Therefore it is not that easy to get the right speed index. I personally prefer Michelin, but it is no longer possible to get an appropriate tire from that manufacturer.

Today I have Continental PremiumContact (in W) on my 3.0 but I´m not very happy with the performance on wet roads.
