Pressures were also 2.3 bar for the first few years followed by 2.4bar for the last couple.
having said all that, 28K miles isn't too bad.

You are on 19" wheels aren't you? I run 2.45bar setting pressure on my 18" front wheels and that just balances the wear pattern.
Don't you suffer some tramlining in your car? That also can be an indicator of low working pressures. |
yes 19 inch.
remember the discussions from probably getting on for 2 years back and have ever since run 2.4 bar all round. (the sticker on the car recommends 2.3 for 1 person in the car)
I can only summise that the air pump I am using may be under reading a tad causing more wear on the sides rather than evenly across)
