On a Audi RS e-tron GT the useful pair is 34 psi (2.31 bar) up front and 34 psi (2.31 bar) at the back, mid-range. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Audi tyre. Battery mass on this {make} {model} makes a 4 psi-low tyre cost range as well as heat.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Audi RS e-tron GT usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
Audi RS e-tron GT placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Audi RS e-tron GT sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this RS e-tron GT.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 36 psi / 2.48 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
How to set the RS e-tron GT
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep RS e-tron GT numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.
PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the RS e-tron GT: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/60R16 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This RS e-tron GT sample opens with 205/60R16, then 245/40R18 and 255/40R19.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 205/60R16 | 34 | 34 | 2.34 | 2.34 | 234 | 234 | Taller 16-inch |

| 255/40R19 | 37 | 37 | 2.55 | 2.55 | 255 | 255 | EV 19-inch aero wheel |
| 205/55R16 | 34 | 34 | 2.34 | 2.34 | 234 | 234 | Typical mid-compact OEM |
| 215/55R16 | 34 | 35 | 2.34 | 2.41 | 234 | 241 | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 235/45R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Common EV 18-inch |
| 225/40R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Low-profile 18-inch |

Audi notes
No special Audi exception: the RS e-tron GT uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
If the Audi sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this RS e-tron GT
Front versus rear on the Audi RS e-tron GT?
This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
What is that in bar and kPa for the RS e-tron GT?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
What tyre pressure should a Audi RS e-tron GT use?
Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Audi RS e-tron GT?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The RS e-tron GT placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?
No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
