[Biturbos4] Tire Recomendation? and possible tire for sale.

[Quincy Chiang]

I just follow the recommended pressures on the sticker inside the fuel door.  For the B5-A4/S4, I believe the recommended pressures are between 36-42 psi depending on load for 225/45-17 size.  I usually run 40 front and 28 rear with me in it most of the time.
