Default What Tire Pressure are you running in the Winter? (B8 S4)

Hi everyone, just curious as to what pressure you guys are running in your Winter set-ups this season?

I had my winters installed yesterday and was pretty surprised to see that they inflated them to 32psi all around. I'm running 245/40/18's on my B8 S4. Door sticker states 41psi all around on the stock 255/19's.

FWIW, my OEM allseasons (18") are on 38 front 40 psi rear. Door jamb sticker says 36 front 38 back.

High 30s is probably fine. The more important thing is to make sure it's not too low. Fluctuating temperatures, which are more prevalent in winter, tend to cause deflation.
Also, make sure you take your pressure readings when the tires are cold.

According to my tires (which are non OEM 18") I am suppose to have 50 psi. I am running around 45 PSI Nitrogen.

Are you sure 50psi isn't the MAX psi? 50 sounds a little high for just normal psi. What size tires are they?

You're probably right. Most likely 50 is the max. I should probably lower it to the high 30s. I'd have to check the exact tire size. Rim is 18 inch. The tires are winter performance tires.
