hoofboy Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Got the shock of my life today, owned an A3 for a month and done 600 miles, thought I would check the tyre pressures after filling up, states 44 psi all rpund for the 18s. They were well out, two in the low 30's and the other 2 in the high 30's. Some PDI Audi do, im really glad i checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 sounds like you have it pumped up for the highest weight loading. I have my S3 on the lowest. 36 Psi all round for oem 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
