John, raise your vehicle weight and skid pad numbers, both are too low.

I tried adjust the figures to get close to reality but they are way high it seems.

I think in the R&T Guide to the TT it is 60/40 FWD and 58/42 for quattro. Not sure who is right...

Default it kind of amazes me, now that i've been playing with the pressure calculator ..
... that despite 60/40 or 58/42 weight distribution, the audi and michelin recommendations are only 3 lbs different between front and rear.

is this calculator for rear wheel drive vehicles only ?

Default Here are the weights for the cars . . .
These were all weighed the same day on the same scale at a stone company in Virginia last year.

Stock 225TTQ - 3,270 - 3,290
Stock 225TTR - 3,450 - 3,460
Stock 180TTQ - 3,220

We didn't have a FronTrak there to get those weights. Sorry

As for weight distribution, the FronTrak will be slightly above 60% Front and the Quattro will be slightly below 60%.
