I have done a wee bit of research on tyre pressures for an S3 19" mag ride. Unfortunately in North America sticker door pressures are shown for full load conditions only and are 42 psi (2.9 bar) front and rear.
I prefer less understeer and was thinking of around 39 psi (2.7 bar ) front and 36 psi (2.5 bar ) rear for partial load conditions which for me is two occupants.
I did note on a couple of 4-6 hour test drives, that the rear suspension on mag ride 19" would on some surfaces feel like harsh or bouncy dependant on suspension setting...due to high inflation on rear tyres with no load?
Do any of you have any thoughts on this matter and my planed tyre pressures. Yes I know test it for yourself, but I am still waiting for delivery and would appreciate owners comments.
