B8.5 Saloon running on 19s - what tyre pressure would you recommend gents? Currently at 40psi and the ride seems worse than my old B8 (also on 19s) - can't recall what pressure I used to run it at though. TIA
Our Avant with 19s is running 36psi, seems to be about right to me.DibblyDobbler said:

Cheers - the card in the door has 41 but I believe that's fully loaded. In the manual it's 36/33 so 36 all round seems sensible Ive not got the car with me today (sunny so broke the TVR out of cover) but believe its 41 and 43(?) front/rear. But yes, both in the 40s. It felt odd at first as I run the Cerb on 24 all round and 41psi just seemed plain wrong, but I've messed about with the pressures on the S4 and the couple of psi is noticeable.

Hmm - my new B8.5 S4 seems to ride a lot firmer than my old B8 S4 (both on 19s). And have worse mpg. And I'm not loving the DSG. DibblyDobbler said:
