Tire pressure in 17" on 5ktq? TWO

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Ti:  Cloverleaf onramps?   :-)))))))))))))))))))
RE: Audi Bulletin, I suspect the manufacturer is looking for pot hole damage 
resistance with pressures in the mid 30's.

a 5Ktq is much lighter than the newer cars and may respond well to lower PSI, 
like 30.........thinking out loud.
