Default What's up with the Avant tire pressure...

...where on the B pillar it specifies 36 psi rear and 33 psi front (with the 18" sports pack)?

I'd guess that it would be just the opposite, since most of the beef is over the front wheels.

I'm thinking of going ...oh maybe... 35 front and 36 rear?

And I did read the manual which says that the B pillar pressure sticker is the final authority.

Default That would make sense but...

..it seems that is the standard pressure for the Avant. In the manual, it does specify increasing the rear pressure when carrying heavy loads.

I'll check mine, but I ain't got the sports package, just Prestige.
