Tire Pressure
Guys,
Just had ExtremeContact DSW's put on by local Audi dealer. However, I checked the tire pressure when I got home and both rear's were set at 36 front driver's at 40 and front passenger at 39.
My question is what is the "optimal" tire pressure A4 Quattro, 235x45x17? I don't really care about handling or ride, I care about wear. I had Potenza's on my last, and they lasted only around 30k, and the inner/outter edges were worn down, while the center was fine, assuming from under-inflated tires.
I live on the coast of North Carolina, temps currently in the 80's.
I am looking for the pressure that gets me the best wear of these tires. Also, would there be a logical reason why the front would be set "higher"?

Without knowing which Audi you have I can't tell you the exact pressures. We always recommend using the factory setting that are listed on the door jam.
Thanks,
