What should my tyre pressure be?!

    Hey, maybe someone can help me...

    I have a Audi A4 1.6 with 19 inch alloy - what should my tyre pressure be?

    They aren't the original wheels, so I assume the manafacturers suggested tyre pressure is different.

    thank,
    -Paul

    Check the side of the tyre not the alloy.

    somewhere around the 30 psi marke maybe?

    but as above, check the side of the tyre, it might state a required pressure there.

    If you have 19's then your gonna have a fairly small sidewall on your tyres. From my experience of 18's on a passat 30psi is ideal in front and 28 in the back. Any lower and you will buckle an alloy from a pothole, any higher and you burst a tyre from same pothole :eek:

    The joker I bought the car from put them on :rolleyes:

    Oh they're 18 inch actually. On the tyre it says don't inflate above 40psi. Fair enough.

    I tried inflating to 30psi, but to the eye they looked a bit soft. I now have them at 36psi and they seem fine.
