Audi SQ5 kPa inflation table

Drivetrain: all-wheel drive
Body: SUV / crossover
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

kPa

231 / 231

2.31 / 2.31 bar · 32-35 / 32-35 psi

32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa

If your gauge only speaks kPa, aim near 231 / 231 for this SQ5, then fine-tune to the placard. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Audi tyre. Keep side-to-side spread inside about 2 psi so the all-wheel drive hardware is not working on a radius mismatch.

kPa, bar and PSI

kPa-led conversions. 220 kPa is 2.2 bar and about 32 psi — handy if this SQ5 sticker uses SI units.

kPa	Bar	PSI

228	2.28	33
231	2.31	33.5

Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/60R18 and others)

If your Audi SQ5 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 245/60R18 or 225/65R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
245/60R18	36	37	2.48	2.55	248	255	Heavier CUV
225/65R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Very common 17-inch
255/50R20	37	37	2.55	2.55	255	255	20-inch plus-size

235/65R17	35	36	2.41	2.48	241	248	Mid-size SUV

Audi SQ5 placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Audi SQ5 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 drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this SQ5.

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 SQ5

Park the Audi SQ5 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 SQ5 is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Load notes

Load moves the rear of a SUV / crossover 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

Audi notes

No special Audi exception: the SQ5 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Audi SQ5 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.

If the Audi sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this SQ5

Front versus rear on the Audi SQ5?

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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a Audi SQ5?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The SQ5 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

When does TPMS warn on a Audi SQ5?

Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.

What is that in bar and kPa for the SQ5?

Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.

What PSI if I plus-size toward 255/50R20?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 245/60R18, 225/65R17 and 255/50R20 as a planning band.
