MP4.2+6.0

that's what I was looking for.

MP4.2+6.0

The door sticker is kind of the dumbed down regulatory version. Since circa 2007 model Audi's, it shows the pressures for the maximum load only, which are typically the "high" ones shown in the owner's manual.

I tend to go for the middle of the owner's manual range, and then temper it either way a bit based on tire wear, road feel, etc. Likewise, set "cold" and inside my garage where the sun hasn't warmed one side or the other (which I find can be a couple pounds variance even if the car sat overnight). I also read up on what the recommendations are for the sport version--here an SQ, for my Mini S the JCW recommendations, etc.

On the Q5 pressure recommendations specifically as the profiles get lower, they seem a bit low from my other Audi experiences--probably biased toward comfort--so I may go toward the upper part of the range with more real world experience in a few weeks. On my A6 for example with 255/45's--by coincidence; smaller wheel diameters but same aprox. sidewall and height on a similar conventional suspension--I am up in the high 30's with 145K miles of cumulative experience; I prefer the stiffer feel. Here that would put me into the SQ related pressure guidelines.

As previously stated, it's 8R0 010 502 BK. This is from my 2013 Q5

Yes. absolutely.

According to the manual pg 252:

Q5: 255/45 R20 101W cold front 29 rear 29


SQ5: 255/45 R20 101W cold front 39 rear 39

side note--it would be appear (based on "normal" US sized adults) that if you actually took 5 adults, there wouldn't be much weight room left for any luggage! I guess if your weekend trip with 4 buddies involved only iPads or Kindles you'd be OK--but no hunting or fishing trips with associated gear and staying under that total 1047 pounds! :-)

Here's my scan of the 2014 Q5 owner's manual on the recommended tire pressures from the tire noise thread:



Needless to say, we're probably going to start seeing occasional reports of SQ5 owners (including yours truly ) complaining of excessive humming/vibration/cabin noise due to the high recommended pressure of the SQ5 tires vs. identically-sized tires installed on non-SQ5 models. Fortunately the fix is easy for the 20" tires - reduce the tire pressure to what is recommended for the non-SQ5 models.

Interestingly writes: Q5 model 3.0 liter 255/40R21, on the website not exist this size tire for model Q5 3.0

As far as I know the 21" are only for SQ5, or maybe I'm wrong ???
