Wheels Problem
I pumped the tires to 42 psi 3 days ago and today my pressure is at 20 (TWENTY) psi.
HO HO HO where did the pressure go?
AUDI wheels may be a problem.
It never happened on a 1978 Lada!

Re: Wheels Problem
gotta love aluminum rims.. this is why they say to use steel rims in the winter. also 42 psi is too high IMO.. 32 is the audi recommended psi.

Re: Wheels Problem
Recommended PSI varies with your tire size. I run 40 at all corners, but only with my 18" rims and 40 series tires ( 235.40.18 ). When I have my winters on, I'm running closer to 32-34.

Re: Wheels Problem
I always say to go with the recommendations, i pretty much was reflecting on the OP views.

Re: Wheels Problem
I think the difference between Rodman and Midrange is this. I suspect that Rodman is running 18 or maybe 19" rims and Midrange is running 17's. I believe that lower profile tires require more PSI's.
