Standard are 41psi front snd rear arent they - which seems high?

Check in the drivers side B pillow or in the handbook for the correct tyre pressures recommend by Audi & the tyre manufacturers mate.

Yeah thats 41 but was wondering if people prefer other pressures, heard 39 and 37 are better than the standard pressures

Tbh people do what people do but lowering the tyre pressures will A Increase tyre wear.B Increase tyre temperature. C Increase the likely hood of buckling a wheel due to a softer tyre side wall.

Also some people do it for comfort in that case don't buy a RS3 !

Hah hah agree entirely on the comfort point - stiff suspension is part and parcel of ownership!

Factory or John’s (prof) suggested 2 psi less, front and rear

Alex.

I'm running 235/35-19 MPS4s all round at 45psi with even wear & no traction problems wet or dry.

I use to run 39/37 on staggered wheels now run 41/39. No particular reason or traction issues just decided to stick more air in.
