Have you looked on the underside of the centre console lid?

Not too long ago several XKR owners said they had a problem with the rear tires wearing at the center and reducing the pressure to 30 psi to compensate. Anyone out there want to update?

I have run my current rears at 30psi since they were fitted, the outer part of the tyre has about 3 to 4mm left and the centre is down to the wear indicator. It may have improved the situation but it has not fixed it. Fronts are still doing fine.
