Default Tire Pressure

I just purchased a 2013 A6 3.0 with the spoet 19 option. What tire pressures are people running? Max load pressures seem high for every day use at 39 front and 42 rear. Normal load is 36 front and 33 rear. Any input would be appreciated.

People should be running the air pressure that Audi engineers decided was best for the vehicle. These are printed on the tire placard on the drivers side door jam. Two pressures are listed based on load. If your "every day" use does not include loading the vehicle to its capacity with passengers and/or cargo, use the normal load recommended pressures.

Gary, the normal load info can only be found in the Owner's Manual. Audi is still good about providing that info where most other mfrs are no longer doing it.
