Tyres Pressure Confused!

[IOANNIS CHALKIOTIS]

hi ... i have the A3 8v FL Sportback 1.5 dsg S-Line with the S-Sportspacket
i am confused about the pressure of my 18r 5 twin spoke wheels!
heres the pic from the label
i used the 35front 32back
from Audi service they said 30f 28b and i found the car was .... too soft and the tyres too low
what is the i mark with the service manual

If I remember right the 30/28 is the comfort setting and the 35/32 is the normal setting. it’s in the manual somewhere.

Yep the I mark with the service manual means if you have comfort setting on your car you can use that with the tyres set at the I setting

I know because it's in the book, I looked the other week when I noticed the centre tread of my tyres were wearing more than the outer tread (even though they were set to what was on the door!), so I took the pressure down to the I setting to use more of the outside tread

As for the 4 people trip, I'd go 35-35 psi, as it's in the middle of the 3 and 5 people settings.

You definitely don’t have the 92V?

My A3 S Line SB had the 18 inch 10 spoke and I always used the 39/36 option.

Can confirm as others have said the I is for a more comfortable ride.
