  • Tyre inflation warning light works!

    Was driving from Canberra to Sydney yesterday and the tyre inflation warning light came on. Pulled in to first servo and one tyre was 3psi down on the others, wasn't aware it was so sensitive? Oh well, anyways , it works

    That's great to hear. I thought it was around 6psi difference needed. Maybe the tyre/rim size makes a difference as a change in pressure may change the rotation speed of the wheel more? What rims/tyres do you have as a matter of interest?

      18x8 RS4 replicas with 235/50 tyres, might make the difference over stock. Just remember when it comes on and you have reinflated to hold the set button down to clear the light

        This is indeed good to know!
        Did you get a sound warning as well as the visual?

        I also thought it was 6 or 7 difference to the other tyres... but 3 eh?!

          Could have been a sound warning but stereo was on full noise Rammstein
