On a Audi S 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. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a S e-tron GT; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye. Battery mass on this {make} {model} makes a 4 psi-low tyre cost range as well as heat.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/55R16 and others)
205/55R16 is the first planning size here. 235/45R18 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

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 | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 35 psi / 2.41 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 38 psi / 2.62 bar |
PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the S e-tron GT: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.
| PSI | Bar | kPa |

| 30 | 2.07 | 207 |
| 32 | 2.21 | 221 |
| 33 | 2.28 | 228 |
| 33.5 | 2.31 | 231 |
| 35 | 2.41 | 241 |
| 36 | 2.48 | 248 |
| 38 | 2.62 | 262 |

| 50 | 3.45 | 345 |
| 60 | 4.14 | 414 |
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Audi S 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.

Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this S 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 |
How to set the S e-tron GT
- Park the Audi S e-tron GT for at least three hours (cold tyres).
- Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
- Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a all-wheel drive S e-tron GT is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Audi notes
No special Audi exception: the S 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 S e-tron GT
Is the sidewall number correct on a Audi S e-tron GT?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The S e-tron GT placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
Front versus rear on the Audi S 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.
When does TPMS warn on a Audi S e-tron GT?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
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.
How often should I check a S e-tron GT?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
