Default Tire Pressure

I have an 03 TT with all wheel drive, 17" tires running factory pressure on tires - 33 psi front and 35 psi rear. Tires are Pirelli. Dealer has aligned car. Problem is the last set were short lived, less than 20,000 mi. Dealer said tires were "cupped". Any suggestions on pressures and alignment.
thanks

Default How often did you rotate tires?

I prefer 3000 mile intervals.

Rotate every 5000. What pressure do you run front and back?

Default Those pressures are incorrect >>

The Audi recommended pressures for the TT on 17" wheels is 36 front, 33 rear.

Default Good info - cupped was first indication pressures were too low -

I suspected that the fronts should be higher as I run about 1-2 psi higher in my fronts on the A4 and Rs - and suspect they have less weight up front proportionally
