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.

Thanks.

That was the bit of info I was wondering about. Whether Audi had a new sticker that included the 20s or a different additional one.

Thanks again all.
