It is vital to maintain proper tire inflation pressures for Audi TT tires. Low tire pressure will result in tire underinflation while high tire pressure will result in tire overinflation, which can reduce fuel efficiency, lead to uneven tire tread wear and decrease tire life, compromise tire safety and cause tire blowout. Check Audi TT tire pressure regularly, and monitor Audi TT tire inflation pressures to avoid driving with overinflated or underinflated tires.
Tire inflation listed on tire sidewall is the maximum air pressure the tire can hold to carry its maximum load, and not the recommended tire pressure for Audi TT. Use Audi TT recommended tire pressure settings listed on the tire pressure chart found in Audi TT owner's manual, on a tire placard on driver's door or door jam, inner trunk lid, in the console or on the fuel door. Recommended tire pressure for your Audi TT tire sizes will be listed in one of the following pressure units: psi (pounds per square inch), bar or kPa (kiloPascals). Pay attention as your Audi TT may have different recommended tire inflation pressures for front and rear tires, especially if equipped with staggered tires. Keep your Audi TT tires inflated at recommended tire inflation pressures at all times for your driving comfort and safety.
If you replace Audi TT original equipment tires or switch to plus size tires, make sure to follow guidelines for the application of load and inflation tables to find proper tire pressure for your new Audi TT tires. Audi TT tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tire load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings. Audi TT replacement tires must have equal or greater speed rating compared to the original equipment tires if your Audi TT speed capability is to be maintained. It is recommended that tire installers refer to the Audi TT owner’s manual to identify any tire speed rating restriction or recommendation that could affect the operation of the vehicle. If your Audi TT replacement tires have a lower speed rating than the original equipment tires, your vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tires. Original equipment tires that come on your Audi TT will have the proper tire load index, so use same or higher load index when choosing replacement tires. Tire load index tells you how much weight your tire can carry. Putting too much weight on your tires will overload them, and can cause premature tire wear, tire damage or even tire blowout. Refer to your Audi TT manual to find its original equipment tire sizes and load ratings. Always refer to the Audi TT owner’s manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of Audi TT replacement tires.
Audi TT tire pressure may fluctuate with ambient temperatures, so check Audi TT tire pressure when ambient temperatures change. In winter when temperatures drop, Audi TT tires may deflate by approximately 1 psi for each 10 degree Fahrenheit decrease in temperature. Maintain proper Audi TT winter tire pressure by adding air to your tires as needed to the recommended tire inflation levels.
Audi TT tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold, after your vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours. It is best to check your tire inflation pressure in the morning, after the vehicle has been parked overnight, using a reliable tire pressure gauge.
If your Audi TT is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), pay attention to low tire pressure warning light being on. Ensure Audi TT tire pressure sensors are working properly to stay alert and enjoy a safe ride. If your tire pressure warning light is on, check front and rear tires to make sure they are properly inflated.
What is the recommended tire pressure for Audi TT?
Recommended tire pressure for Audi TT is determined by the manufacturer based on your vehicle's characteristics and original equipment tire sizes. Select your Audi TT year to get recommended tire inflation pressures for Audi TT tires.
Where do I find recommended tire pressure settings for Audi TT?
You can find your Audi TT recommended tire pressure in Audi TT owner's manual, on a tire placard on driver's door or door jam, inner trunk lid, in the console or on the fuel door. Recommended tire pressure for Audi TT will be listed in psi, bar or kPa.
How to check Audi TT tire pressure?
Proper Audi TT tire inflation is essential to the overall tire performance and safety. To check tire pressure for Audi TT you will need to know its recommended tire pressure and a tire pressure gauge. Check cold inflation pressures in Audi TT tires with tire pressure gauge and adjust to Audi TT recommended tire inflation pressures as needed by adding or releasing air. Make sure to check tire inflation for your Audi TT regularly to ensure safe and comfortable drive.
Why is Audi TT tire pressure warning light on?
If your Audi TT is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) it will alert you when tire pressure is too low and your tires could be underinflated, which can lead to uneven tire wear or can cause tire failure. If Audi TT low tire pressure warning light is on, check all Audi TT tires for low air pressure and inflate tires to the recommended tire inflation pressures. Keep in mind that Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not replace routine tire pressure check and maintenance.
How do I reset Audi TT tire pressure monitoring system?
To reset tire pressure monitoring system for Audi TT, make sure front and rear tires are inflated to the recommended levels. Refer to your owner's manual on how to reset Audi TT TPMS.
What is recommended winter tire pressure for Audi TT?
Recommended tire pressure for Audi TT is the same for any season, but you may inflate your Audi TT tires 3 to 5 psi above the recommended tire pressure set by the manufacturer to compensate for lower temperatures during winter. Make sure to check your Audi TT tire pressure more often in the winter to keep tires properly inflated for a safe ride on snow and icy roads.
