Tyre size and pressures

Post by Rs4nutter » Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:47 pm

Hi all

Bought an rs4 in feb and it’s been stored while we move, however can’t find the tyre pressures any where.
Can someone tell me the correct pressures please.
Also when searching online for tyres, put reg in and it comes up with a different size tyre that’s fitted now, have got 275/30/zr20 fitted, is this the correct size?
Thanks

There should be a Sticker on the driver's door. Standard is 265/30/20

Thank noidea, never thought to look there. Guessing the tyre size difference won’t make a difference? Why put a wider tyre on?

Who knows why but sometimes it can be down to availability. I would always stick to the recommended size though. I think the B9 has 275s fitted as standard

Agreed, I think it’s all rather tight on clearance (not that 10mm should make a big difference) to the strut etc.
Stick to standard and remember to set the tyre monitor when you are done
