- 18” 255/45/18 tyre pressure
Ace, thanks! Mine only has a sticker for the 16's...even though it came with 17's! I thought it was 3 and 2.5 bar, but I wanted to check.
See, my 45 and 40 was pretty spot on
Always right my arse
Decided to replace the standard 17 inch Devonports on my recently acquired 6.1 Kombi T32 4M and have ordered a set of OE Sportline 2's with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 255/45 103's . Only have the suggested pressures for 16/17 inch wheels on the door sticker and could do with some advice from anyone on here running 18 inch wheels on a T6 / T6.1 T32 4M . Van only has personal use and mainly only carries driver / passenger . A set of virtually new Devonports shod with Continental Vancontact 215/60 R17C 109/107 Ts with only 500 miles covered will also soon be listed in the sales section .
I run 50psi all round (heavy van)

Tyre pressures for 18" wheels
I don't know off the top of my head , I'm at center parcs but will walk down to my van and take a pic of the card I was given with my van in the morning
I have a T28 TSI 204 and I run Michelin Sport 4s, 255/45 ZR18 103Y and run all tyres at 45psi, fronts lasted 20,000 miles though middle had worn more than the edges by a couple of mm, VW technician said it is common for centre section to wear a little more on wide tyres, maybe I’ll try a little lower,
Hi All
So my van’s had a full respray and there’s no info sticker on the b pillar regarding tyre pressures?
I’m running 255/45/18 103 W XL? I’ve seen a couple of posts relating to a T32/T30 but I’m wondering would my pressures be different as it’s a T28?
The reason I’m asking is the middle of my fronts has worn a fair bit more toll than the outer? I realise that wide tyres do wear a bit more in the middle than the outer but there’s a fairly big difference? If anyone could shed some light I’d be most grateful?
TIA

By my calculations that's about 508psi in old money
Noted and changed...........
My van is a T28 and until this week I was running that same size tyre. As @CAB post above and the information sticker on the b pillar, I always keep them to 44psi on the fronts and 36psi on the rears as my van is ‘light’ and doesn’t carry any weight (such as a full camper conversion). My tyres have been on for just over a year and covered approximately 9000 miles and they have worn perfectly.
That's interesting as mine is a T28 fully loaded 99% of the time. Will look at putting more air in on next run out, see what ride is like.
