Winter Wheels - air pressure?
Heya folks,
I did a search on this forum and found PLENTY of info on the types of tires and resetting the MMI system TPMS BUT
What do folks run for tire pressure?
My 2010 Q5 is now on dedicated winter Blizzack 235/55R 19's Audi 5-spoke rims and I can't for the life of me recall last year what I ran on... 35 lbs maybe?
I saw a thread/post that the front pressure & rear should be different - is this still true & esp in regards to winter wheels?
I know technology & information changes (hopefully for the better) all the time so just thought to ask folks thoughts...

Lost, I don't see anyone differentiating between summer and winter pressures any longer.
Take a look in your Owner's Manual for pressures. You'll find both NORMAL load and MAX load conditions. The B pillar on the cars sent to the USA show MAX load only.

thanks for the info guys....
Manual lists 30-33 as average with 35 the max load ...
went middle with 33; i've reset the MMI TPMS with that and see how the ride is around town & on the highway and adjust from there.
Safe travels all throughout the winter season!
