The Washington State Patrol makes a good recommendation for all around driving: run your tires at the maximum pressure imprinted on the sidewall, but keep any front/rear difference called for by the manufacturer. Example: manufacturer says to run 32 front/34 rear. Your tires say: ...at max. pressure 36 psi. Run 36 rear, 34 front. This keeps the two psi difference. If your tire said: ....at max. pressure 44 psi Then run 44 rear, 42 front. The idea is that this respects the "heat rating" of the tire while preserving the handling characteristics the manufacturer designed. OTOH, if you prefer different characteristics, you may alter the difference - but they do NOT recommend running higher than max. recommended pressures. With radials, running full pressure does NOT distort the tire and cause increase wear in the tire's center. Running LOW will: Make handling mushy Reduce gas mileage Increase wear at the tire's edges > From: flderoos@mmm.com > Does anyone have the telephone numbers of some of the Audi parts > vendors handy?
