The tyre placard does suggest that I suppose .... but it does also show 4 people in the car .... so there is another 100+KG pushed towards the rear. I'm not sure if it would be considered a scientific or proportionate guide. I'm thinking it's suggesting that there is a possibility that the middle row (7 seater) may get used and the big empty cavern in the back may get filled (commensurate to the amount of people in the car), thus needing the extra pressure at some stage.


It's also noteworthy according to many tyre places that if you follow the placard pressures, you'll get less wear out of your tyres (outside edges wear first). This certainly happened to my first set of Scorpions. You just can't trust the OEM ... LOL!!!

Of course the position of the jacking points (front Vs rear) or where you would use a trolley jack could make a massive difference in the feel, when you are lifting the car.

So....nobody in the car, no accessories fitted, jacking position variables aside, is it heavier in the front or the back? I figured with the engine and gearbox being orientated FWD, that the weight would be there. It was also suggested on this site that this is why D4's wear the front tyres first.


Anyway, not really that important, it just felt that way when I was using the OEM Jack ..... I was probably just tired.... :-)
