S3 MPG over 3 months. 26!

The problem is running under inflated tyres is dangerous as they dont sit flat on the road so grip is reduced especially in the wet. The real problem though will be reduced braking ability
If you want comfort get some 17" wheels in higher profile tyres.

Do yourself a favour and the car in front you will hit in the end and watch this

If they didn't sit flat the outside edges would wear quicker than the middle, have run these pressures since I've had these wheels and am on my 3rd set of tyres on them and the wear is always perfect.

Bearing in mind the s3 brakes are huge compared to normal cars I think the braking distance will be more than made up for. Can't get 17's over s3 brakes, what you should advise is if you want comfort don't buy a ****** Audi.

But then again, your not really in a position to be giving out safety advise, adding 120bhp to a car and not upgrading the braking system.

Its not me giving out safety advice though is it ? its the professional tyre safety organisations and tyre manufacturers. but you know better....yea right.

Well it is, your the one who’s telling me it’s wrong when the experts that fitted the tyres said the pressures will be fine. I’m just relaying what they’ve said is fine.

Likewise, having 225 tyres on an 8.5J alloy is probably wrong in your eyes as they are slightly stretched. However, the expert tyre fitters also say it’s fine. So who’s saying who knows better..

That’s the thing with forums, it’s full of opinions. You do what you do and I’ll do what I do

To be honest if you want a definate answer which no one can argue with, call the manufacturer of the tires and speak to technical support, as you know manufacturer specifications will override any rules and regs or anyone expertise or qualifications period.
You can run your questions with them and they should be able to provide you with the right info. When it comes down to tyre fitters? No such thing as a professional tyre fitter, no such thing and so such qualification for someone to changes tyres, anyone can change a tyre or be a mechanic its all just general knowledge and opinions formed over time which is fine but not always right regardless of years of experience or knoweldge
