Default Underinflated tire pressure



My 2011 A8L had this message about low tire pressure and it shows the left front tire. I seen this message before so could the wheel be bent.

What car? 28 lbs sounds very low to me. I would expect a recommendation of at least 10 lbs more. You also need to realize that the majority of the air you breath is already nitrogen, so having nitrogen filled tires does not eliminate the need to periodically check the pressures.

Check the door jam (drivers door) and get the correct tire pressure and inflate to that PSI.

Then reset the TPMS in MMI.

Check all four tires. The tpms warming comes in when the your pressure drops 10psi or more from what's stored in the car's memory . Then check the owner's manual for the recommended psi and set that them accordingly.

check the owners manual for the correct tire pressure. The problem with relying on the door jamb has been discussed here.
