Mk4 Golf Tyre Pressures

[Mackass]

My front tyres look a little low on tyre pressure, so I thought I'd check the pressures on all of the tyres and increase them if necessary.

In my manual, it says the following:
Front: 2.1 / 2.4 (up to half payload / up to full payload)
Rear: 2.1 / 3.2 (up to half payload / up to full payload)

I'm a little confused, which pressure do I need to fill them up to, or are they the minimum and maximum pressures?

Also, what are they in psi?

Tyre size is 175/80R14 if that helps.

Can't make it much simpler than that.

If you generally drive with 1-2 people (inc yourself) and a few bits and bobs, set them to 2.1F, 2.1R.

If you often drive with 4-5 people and a bunch of junk in the boot, run them at 2.4F, 3.2R to keep the tyres shape with the extra weight.

1 bar = 14.5 psi

Make sense?

Sure does, cheers arcamalpha.
