Default That is maximum pressure for tires

I believe this inflation save gas and prolong life of the tires. Also don't forget about wheel alignment. Especially residents of North East and Canada. With the last a couple of winters potholes on the road just killing wheel alignment. I did my just yesterday when putting on new set of tires. Recommendation is that check every 6 month and do it every year. Paid $84.00 USD. Worth every penny.
Not recommended !

I do 39 / 35 as recommended in the manual for "non" full load. Full load includes five passengers and a full trunk. 39/35 is recommended if regularly driven with three or less people.

Why? I use this setting on s4 for almost 4 years - no problem. Did the same on my other cars. 41psi is indicated on the drivers side.

I run 42psi all around but again this is on a set of 20's so its a slightly different animal. I also keep tire rotations at 5k intervals. Then again I am not driving that much so normally the seasons change and I get rotation in that way. (via 18" snow wheels and tires)
