    About to swap over to the summer setup this week. First time running the super sports. Anyone found a pressure they are happy with to start me out. Every tire is a little different.

    Thanks...

    36/36. The number of responses to your post will equal the number of different opinions.

    I used to do 39/36 front/rear for my A6 as it was FWD, and is found that it helped with lessening understeer. But in the S4, I found it didn't make much diff as there was much less understeer to begin with, so ended up with the 39/39. Perhaps it's the sport diff contributing to the lack of understeer.

    For Autocross I use 33/30 for extra contact patch and even lower cold on the track, wouldn't recommend it for the road though. Generally your fronts should be in the neighborhood of 3-5 psi higher to account for the extra weight up front.

    That is for a full load of people/cargo/fuel. Your manual will have different numbers as stated above.

    For a "full load condition" (max gross weight) vehicle, that would be correct. Manual (for 2012 S4) says 36 front / 33 rear for "normal" load conditions (up to 3 occupants) for high performance 255/35 R19 96Y XL tires.

    39 / 35 for normal load 18" tires if curious.
