Default A6 2.7T Tire Pressure Recommendations

My 2.7T S line came from the factory with the 17 inch wheels and all season radials but my dealer switched to the 18 inch wheels and Continental SportContact 2 235/40 ZR18 95Y tires at my request.

The metal plate with the recommended tire pressure on my car line doesn't provide information for the 18 inch wheel setup.

Can someone give me a sense of the recommended front and rear tire pressures for my configuration?

Default Re: I'll recommend!

Are you saying you disagree with PaulW's recommendation of 34-36? Sorry if I'm being dense, but your post seems a bit cryptic to me at the moment and I'm confused.

Default No, I don't disagree with Paul though I run mine a bit higher. This subject has been

discussed many times. You should get many opinions and a wider range if you do a search.

Default It's even sadder is that it take a death of a football player to have people feel a lost of morale

That is waht's wrong with America that we don't care about average Joes. It doean't matter how many people died there but it wasn't until Tillmann dies that some of us start to care............huhhhhhh

Default I currently have 39f/41r for my 235/40/18 Nero M+S; however,, I'll recommand

you go a bit lower to break in those tires and then increase to that later. Although in most factory recommandation is higher for M+S. Also different tires respond differently with pressure so you need to play around with it as well. But I'd keep at least 36 if not 38 all around

Default not me - which is why I thought McCain's quote was so relevent

"But there is in Pat Tillman's example, in his unexpected choice of duty to his country over the riches and other comforts of celebrity, and in his humility"
