Default RS4 tire pressure

hey guys, I just got my 5K service done and I think my tire pressure is a bit low, as the steering feel sucks. They are all around 32-33psi. What do you guys run? thanks J

Default I thought the sticker on the car says 41psi

and as far as marks recommendation - I would go one psi heavier for the front not rear.

Default I ran 41 when new but that is MAX pressure....

Check the owners manual, I think there is an explanation

Default 41 is good

I guess the point is not to run them at 35 or
something. This is a performance sedan not a
Vanagon lol. I like 40 myself so far

If anything go with higher pressure in the front
which will slightly reduce understeer. I have yet to do this but something like 41 front and 38 rear (subject to experimentation) should do that a little.

Funny how you take your car to a dealer and they
underinflate your tires causing you a blowout and to die on the way home after you pay them
$125 for labor lol. They probably overfill your oil too and do other damage

Default Max inflation on the tire is probably around 50 psi

Not that you would want to but you could and
that is a cold pressure btw

The sticker on the b pillar is the fully loaded
recommended pressure

Default 40 all around. you'll need to drop them down a bit if you track the car.

IIRC people were using 36-37 *cold* pressures for track events, which ends up being 40-41 when the tires get hot.
