Thanks David,

Could someone give me the part numbers from the stickers that I should have in the filler flap so that I can order them from Audi please?

Then I won't be wondering again!

Or... a photo of them would do for now.

Thanks

MG

I find it varied between 34 and 38 depending on the tyres I ran, some were noisier at lower pressures.

Here you go, been meaning to do this for a while.
You can probably just read the range of tyre sizes too.

Thanks all.

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 245-45-18s. They're set at 32psi now. I can hear them more than I was expecting. I don't want to over inflate them and have the centre of the tread wear out prematurely.

My 2002 S8 has the same pressures but only quotes for 245/45/R18s and 225/55/R17s. (i.e. not the 225/60/R16 as in your photo) but it has an additional sticker for 255/35/ZR20s as follows:

part loaded = 2.4/36/240 (front and rear)
Full load = 3.2/46/320 (front and rear)

See attached photo. Hope this helps.
