Saloon 2017 RS3 Saloon

Hello RS3 owners I am a newbie with a 2017 RS3 Saloon. I am confused about tyre pressures and wonder what are the optimum tyre pressures (front and rear) I should be using in this current cold weather. Also any hints and tips on driving in snow and ice with the quatro? My previous car (Golf R) did not handle well in snow and ice

welcome newbie and owner of fine automobile
optimum pressures are shown on a graphic/sticker on the side of the drivers door....depends on what size wheels/tyres and weight you are normally carrying
take it easy driving in snow and ice
you're welcome

Not great driving conditions for anyone. However, I would far rather be in my AWD RS3 at the mo than the 2WD TT loaner I currently have!

Thank you Panama and Evil Diesel, with reference to the confusing door tyre pressure sticker do you read up the sticker or down the sticker?

From factory mine were 42psi front 37.5 psi rear according to TPMS.

I had/have the staggered set up.

Depressing to start to think about the car in the past tense having only picked it up 2 months ago btw.
