I bought a set of these from TR in the 235/45/17 size for a set S4 Avus rims to put on my 2002 A6 Avant.

Which side of the tire goes out (I don't see a "this side out" on the tire)? I see a brown stripe around one side of the tire and the opposing edge has an irregular groove on the outside.

Also - any ideas about tire pressure - the TR rep suggested whatever was on the doorsticker - but the door sticker (actually gas cap sticker) is for the stock 16's.....

The more siped side goes on the inside. Bigger blocks on outside.

The tire should be listing 'side facing out' since they are an asymmetrical tire. If not, the larger blocks would be mounted to the outside edge of the wheel, as a reference.

Tire pressures.. You can fine tune to your liking, but basically since you moved up in side- set to OEM spec 16" pressures, and add 1-2 psi on top of that, that should get you pretty ideal to where you want to be (or at least a base reference)

Hope this helps!

Thanks to both of you
