Re: Tire pressure help
52 seems high, I have been told 36 elsewhere.....
As far as on the door, it does not apply as it only lists information for the standard 16's and 17's...
Anyone able to provide info on these tires specific or at least for 18's on a b7 a4?
Thanks!

I have All Season 235/40/R18 tires, sport suspension and run 36 psi - adjust to suit the road feel you want and monitor the wear pattern in case alignment is needed.

Re: Tire pressure help
Remember that running tire pressure a little bit higher than normal (without exceeding manufacturer recommendations) is better than running lower tire pressure which can lead to a blowout.
By the way, since these rims were from your friends S4, you can take a look at his doorjamb and see what Audi recommends for proper tire inflation. Keep in mind that most people go with whatever suits them.

Re: Tire pressure help
There's your answer Niklaus. 36PSI is what is recommended as the B7 S4s came with 18x8j wheels wrapped in 235/45ZR-18 rubber.
