A4 B7 Cabriolet 18" tyre pressures?

[mikrt]

Have just got my car on the road.

The car already had 235/40/18 wheels/tyres on, but the sticker is only for 16" & 17" Please see my sticker

I can find another sticker for a saloon with 16", 17" & 18" details, please see sticker

And I can see that the saloon @ 18" is +3 psi @ low load, and +1 psi high load over the 16" & 17" pressures (F & R the same).

So if I use the same formula on my sticker, 18" should be 33 psi low & high loads Front, and rear should be 33 psi low & 34 psi heavy.

First of all, I hope all this makes sense,

And secondly, Have I got it right??

Thanks

I have a B7 SLine with 235/40/18s. It is misses' car she uses it for school runs and I keep them on 35psi unless off course it is all of us with luggage. Without luggage and just 5 of us (3kids at the back) I have always kept the pressure at 35 all round. Sticker attached

Thanks for that Tashfeen, but your sticker is the same as the saloon one I posted, mine's a cabriolet and is a lower psi.

Also, did you try Kwikfit website?

Thanks again Tashfeen, I had already tried Kwikfit, but mine were 16" as standard so that's what's coming up.

But then I had a brainwave - I went onto ebay and searched for all the B7 2.0 TDI cabriolets with 18" tyres and bingo! Using their reg numbers I got success.

Weirdly, of the 20ish I tried, 10 were also 16" or 17" standard fitted, but another 5 with 18" standard came back with the result "Sorry, can't find result", But luckily for me all the others said the same, which was 37 front and 32 rear.

I shall take a pic of mine later. Pretty sure it's what Tashfeen already posted (mine says same inc 18's).

Thanks mr.raw, but did you note mine is a cabriolet, the plate Tashfeen posted was a saloon.
