Default Tire Pressure on 2.7T with stock Conti EcoPlus 215 55 R16's

Before I change the suspension & wheels I wondered what
the correct range, front and back, for these tires is.

I prefer a much firmer feel than what I have.

Thanks

On my 4.2, there is a sticker in the right rear door jam. Normal pressure is 34 PSI. For a full load I believe 42 PSI is recommended. Check your sticker. Perhaps you would have been better off with the PSK sport pkg.

Default As Pablo1 states, my pressure decal is also in rear passenger doorjamb.....

Your Conti's will probably never give you the performance it sounds like you are looking for. That model is engineered for mileage and ride considerations. I would recommend upgrading your tire. I will get flamed for this, bit you dont necessarilly have to upgrade your tire size.
