Checking your Audi Q8 tyre pressure
Two minutes at home or on a garage forecourt is all it takes.
Find your pressure
Look up your tyre size in the pressure chart, or check the sticker inside the driver's door jamb or fuel filler flap.
Check the tyres cold
Recommended figures are cold pressures — measure before driving, or at least a couple of hours after a journey.
Top up all four monthly
Check every tyre (and the spare) once a month and before long trips, then refit the valve caps securely.
Recommended pressures for your Audi Q8
Cold inflation pressures as recommended by Audi. Use the laden figures when the car is fully loaded with passengers or luggage.

Always double-check against the tyre placard inside the driver's door or your Audi handbook — pressures can vary by exact specification and year.

The right pressure pays for itself
Tyres naturally lose around 1–2 psi a month, and more in cold weather — so even careful drivers end up under-inflated. Running your Q8 below Audi's recommended pressure increases rolling resistance, which means more fuel burned, faster shoulder wear and longer braking distances in the wet.
Over-inflating isn't the answer either: too much air shrinks the tyre's contact patch, wearing the centre of the tread and making grip and ride quality worse. The recommended figures in the chart are the sweet spot — and if you're carrying a full load of passengers or luggage, switch to the laden values before you set off.
How pressure shapes your grip on the road
The red zones are where a mis-inflated tyre carries the load — and where it wears out first.
