I have been pretty quiet on this one and testing a range of pressures.

I have finally settled on this one:  28psi / 1.93 to 2 bar.   (For general road use)

You are going to find that you will wear the centre of your tread at an accelerated rate at that pressure. As we have all said start at the standard 26psi and go lower.

2 bar is way too high. 1.8 bar is the manufacturer's recommendation. The bigger the tyre, the lower the pressure. I wouldn't go higher than 1.7 bar on 215/75R15.  I run 1.4 bar on my 235/75R15's.

As said many times. 1.6 to 1.7 bar.

If its a Gen 4 you can't go lower as the dash lights up like a Christmas tree and stops it telling you anything else.

Unless there is a way to adjust the TPMS settings or disable them.

I was under the impression that the emulator modules were for doing that, delete the wheel sensors and set the emulator then regularly check the tyre pressure manually like a normal person?
