So I have a question that so far my dealer has failed to answer.
The tyre pressure sticker on the passenger door frame states 39psi as the pressure for both front & rear tyres.
Now I’m presuming that this tyre relates to the original VZ3 formentor with 19” wheels which received the dealer modifications to make it an ABT which now has 245/35ZR20 tyres on the ABT 20” alloys.
does anyone know what the specific pressures should be for my tyres as fitted?

Well my previous Audi Q3 vorsprung was 20inch with similar tyre pressure you posted.
If I remember correctly from top of my head.
So shouldn't be a massive difference if you would follow that sticker.

Thanks, I’m going to give those pressures a go today. I checked them with a hand gauge this morning and they’re still around 45 psi from the dealer! The ride is a little firmer than I’d expected even with the ABT suspension
 
Yeah I think if it's just you mostly in car then go for 38 and see.

Those abt got 35 profile so I believe it would be hard anyway.

Maybe playing about with pressure would make slight difference.

Heard it through the grapevine that 45psi is a general long term storage pressure for when cars sit on the forecourt for months at a time. Counteracts flat spotting.

P.S. I hate painted on low profile tires with a passion. You need sidewall in the UK.

Hi, I rang Rickter on this question and was told 40 psi all around
