Butler is the only shop that will do a lowered car perfect. Stick around the South for a couple weeks and we can meet up at Petit le Mans at Road Atlanta.

I'm about 30 minutes from exit 1 as you cross from GA into SC. If you're driving home up I-85 at some point, let me know and maybe we can meet up. Let me know if you're planning to go there and I'll send Gary and Wayne an email to expect your call and car. They aren't cheap, but they will align to custom specs if you provide what you want. Unfortunately they stopped being able to get parts for that machine and now just do road force balance. They used to do a very cool on-car high-speed balance at 85 MPH which equated to about 125 on the street. Choose Butler Tires and Wheels for unparalleled quality, service and a smooth, vibration-free ride. They've done all my alignments and most of my tire installation and wheel balancing for 24 years even though for the last 18 I've lived 2 hours from them. Butler Tire is Atlanta’s Hi-Performance Tire and Wheel Center. Tell them Pete with the Porsches from SC referred you.

You'll know if Gary (the GM over multiple stores) is there as he drives a newer 911, or did that last time I was there. I very much enjoy driving the car (I am second owner at just under 2 years old with 11,600 miles on the clock) but remain unimpressed with mpg, even with my steady and sometimes spirited driving I get 47 mpg, my previous car a Clio 1.2 Tce was returning just over 50 mpg on the fuel computer.Bruce, go see Gary or Wayne at Butler Tire in Marietta. I would also add, for info, that I've had the 'Anti Honk dampers fitted under warranty and they seem to stopped that racket.

I queried the inflation pressures and the receptionist went to speak to the Master Technician, the message was that the tyre pressures were correct for the 0.9 Cross, I said that as the model they were working on was the 0.9 4x4, that's not the same as the Cross, and I was concerned about excessive wear with incorrect tyre pressures, she went away again and came back with an A4 sheet from the Master Technician with a table of all possible Panda tyre variant tyre pressures, it is headed '319 - Nuova Panda 0.9 Twin Air Pressures (cold tyre) 2.17.3' this shows for 175/65 R15 84T Normal load Front 2.4, Rear 2.2, Full load Front 2.7, Rear 2.7, so with me inflating the tyres per the 4x4 supplement booklet at 2.2/2.1 I could now understand why the TPMS had reacted. About an hour later, I was told that no fault could be found but they had changed the tyres around and inflated them to 2.4 bar front 2.2 bar rear. I booked the car into the dealer and decided to sit and wait for the work to be completed. At lunchtime that day I checked the tyre again, still 2.2 bar, my friendly tyre service centre then checked the tyre, including testing it in a water bath and found no puncture or other defect, we reset the system again but the warning light stayed on. I reset the system and drove on to work, the warning light stayed on. I checked it again the next morning and it was the same, 2.2 bar but the warning light was still on. The TPMS light came on with the warning that the 'Front left' pressure was low, I got home as quick as I could and checked the pressure - accepting that the tyre was still warm, it seemed spot on, three hours later I checked it again and it was 2.2 bar as per the 4x4 supplement for 175/65 R15 M+S tyres.

To update from my experiences with the dealer today.

Would anyone here know exactly what the correct medium and full load pressures might be? Unfortunately this causes my OCD level to jump and, because I can't find what the Gospel is online, I have to try bothering you nice folks. These two unclear items then raise the question should the 0.2 bar be added because the standard R15 tyres on my diesel 4x4 are M+S rated? There is no mention if that 0.2 bar is just for warm snow tyres or for snow tyres in general. Butler Tire stocks the name brands you know and trust like Michelin®, Toyo, Pirelli and Nexen. This section also mentions that 0.2 bar be added for snow tyres. We pride ourselves on our service, John said. To add to the confusion the preceding page has a 'Cold tyre inflation pressure' section that advises that warm tyres should have 0.3 bar added to the advised cold pressures. But Butler Tire is still here after 50 years changing tires and keeping cars safe.

The manual is a bit confusing because the Cross/4x4 section mentions M+S tyres specifically for the R14 sized tyres, but not for any of the other sizes.

Has anyone been able to figure out, without a shadow of doubt, what the correct tyre pressures might be for a 2016 4x4 1.3 MJD (95hp) with standard Continental M+S 175/65 R15 tyres?
