RS4 tyre wear, front vs rear

[RS Owner]

F38 R35 it's on the door pillar. Is there a reason to use different pressures?

There seems to be a pattern with the OE Pirrelli PZero wearing quicker than other tyres. Is this because they are stickier? I dont think so but I only have experience of P0's.

I needed to change 2 tyres due to a puncture else I would have gone for Michelin Pilot Sport 2 as there seems to be a consensus that they are better (than P0 at least).

Also I was told to make sure the fronts and rears were not more than about 3mm wear difference due to the permanent 4WD.

The reason for the different pressures is that most people running F1's are using a 275/30 profile tyre not a 255/35.

I think the F1 popularity came about as a result of this EVO test: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/20 ... e-test.htm

Keeping rolling radius similarity improves the longevity of your diffs.

It is interesting for me as when running 255/35 Conti's I was advised by my local dealer to run 39 front and 36 rear, on the 275/30's I am running 39 front and 38 rear so not a huge amount of difference between the two tyre sizes.

guys what tyre pressure are you guys running on the front and rears
(i use the ps2 ro1)

The values on the sticker on the drivers door shut - 38 front, 36 rear IIRC.
