Tyre pressuress

[KXL]

Do all of your A3s show recommended tyre pressures as (for 3 passengers some luggage) as 36 / 36 PSIs?
I noted that it shows all variety of tyre sizes from 205/55 R16, 225/45 R17 (mine) and 225/40 R18s as the same pressures. Surely that can't be right? I might look again, as not sure if they showed any R19s.
Had a Seat Leon 2.0TDI that weighed more and it was 32 / 29 PSI, and a Volvo V40 even heavier still and was 33 / 33 PSI.

It also specifies the "code" for the tyre e.g. 91V/91H/92Y etc. which can be found on the tyre itself.

As an example: mine is 92Y XL, so I need to use 36/36psi or 39/39psi for higher load.

I had a closer look at mine (30 TFSI MHEV) running 225/45 R17s and while the 3 passenger 1 luggage is the same, the fully loaded values were 36 fronts and 39 rears and not like yours 39 / 39. Is yours a TDI by any chance?

Mine is 35TFSI MHEV with 225/40 R18 (92Y XL as shown in the image in my prev. post), Michelin Cinturato if that's relevant.

Looks like I've got to look again at mine, didn't notice if I had a 2nd row which in your case 'highlights' the wheel spec fitted to the vehicle (at least at factory). Mine are also Pirelli Cinturato P7s.

Yap that's Pirelli Cinturato p7 and NOT Michellin. Thanks for correcting the brand .

Interestingly on my tyre pressure sticker, it only shows the top part, and not the 2nd lower part (car specific wheels fitted). Also fully loaded is only shown as 36 / 39. Maybe the light 1.0 up front has something to do with the fronts only needing 36 even if fully loaded.

Btw, what is M+S all season tyres? or winters?

M+S is Mud+Snow I reckon.
