Default Tire Pressure Recommendations 235/45/17
Hey guys: just upgraded my 2002 A6 Avant with this tire setup and could use some pressure suggestions. Currently running 34/34.

I run 36/36 cold with that setup. Tires are wearing evenly.

Yes, 36-37 depending on tire (sidewall stiffness), driving style and taste.
