Hi

Can someone please tell me what the correct pressure is for 255/35/19 wheels.

The sticker on the door doesn't make sense to me as it lists loads of different tyres under one section.

Thanks

36 front 35 rear for normal driving
38 front 42 rear for fully loaded / high speed continuous.

Weird!

I've got a MY2010 Avant running 19's and this is my sticker which suggests for loaded 39F 44R.

Also Audi recommend on the B8 that you always run at the "loaded" pressures unless you find it uncomfortable


Hemtt - have you worked out how to read the sticker now or shall I run thru it?

Bizzarre!! I appear to have the same car, same wheels but different year and my sticker is different to yours. I'll try and photo it and stick it up.

Thanks for the reply. I thought I read it correctly. Just seemed rather high to me

True - I run 39/44 (as they recommend) and it does sound high.

My old S4 (which had a 4.2V8 hanging out the front ran 42 front and that kinda made sense but they do seem high on the B8's.
