Default 2016 SQ5 21" Pirelli Pzero tire pressure

Hello all,

It's been a month since I got my car and I noticed one of my back tires with a tire pressure of 20PSI and the other 3 with 40PSI.

I hope it's not a slow leak

What is the recommended pressure for these tires as I can't find it anywhere

Thanks
Johnny

There should be a sticker on the driver side B pillar at about seat cushion height. Open the driver door and look down and right...

In the USA, the B pillar sticker displays MAX LOAD only. It's been like this for 10 years.


You need to open up your owner's manual to find normal load info unless you are using the car as a taxi cab.

Default P Zero 255/40 r21

I have a new 2 week old sq5, with a 1000 miles, with the PZero 255/40 r21 tires. Door days 36 Front 39 rear. My Audi dealer is further than a gas station in my city that is the last of the old time stations that is full service and has a couple of bays with lifts, etc. There are always old sports cars and classics in there, so I asked the owner about tire pressure on these PZeros. He looked at the tire wall and said max is 50 psi. He looked at the door sticker and then said run these at 40 front 42 rear. He said they will feel more of the road imperfections but I’ll get better mileage and longer tread life. He compared my gauge readings to his trusty gauge so I know where to read my gauge for these pressures. Until I’m told otherwise I’m going with this guy’s recommendations because he doesn’t want to sell me tires and he is well respected in town. P.s. This is my first post on Audi world so I don’t have a lot of street Cred on here yet. So, my 2 cents. Cheers.
