I'm hoping someone can let me know what tyre pressures my A4 should be running 'cos the dealer isn't being too helpful and the handbook is totally useless!!

The tyres are 235 40 ZR 18 Pierlli P Zero's.

Off to the Le Mans Classic next week so if you know the unladen and fully laden pressures that would be really helpful.

Cheers

Isn't there a label just below the door lock thingy on the shell - driver's door opening ?

I'm not aware of the 'official' recommendations for the car, but I normally run mine at 32psi unladen and 36psi fully laden (4 plus roof box). That's with same wheels and tyres are you have. The ride is quite firm anyway on the S Line, so much higher than that you risk losing your fillings!

Checked the Audi sticker on the inside of the door frame and it specifies 36psi and 42psi fully laden for the 18" alloys with those tyres. Personally, I found that too hard, hence the 32psi. Not had any tyre wear or handling problems running them at that pressure in the time I've had mine.
