What tires pressure do you use?
Had 28 psi so far but I believe that 32 {tested today} gave me a better-smoother ride.

Depends on the size of wheels/tyre...but I ran 38f/36r on my V6 and roughly 40f/38r on the Q4.

Owners handbook states reduced load is 36f/33r (2.5f/2.3r) or full load is 40f/36r (2.8f/2.5r)....so I think you're running very low.

I have the standard 205/50x15 size. I'll rise the pressure to 36/33 today and see how it goes.

Thank you Wrinx

It may be Greek roads don't let you ;)

you can say that again. It's a terrible situation here in Greece. That's the reason police and other people with Q4 used 205/55x15 instead the oem 205/50x15. Otherwise you need new rims every week.

You should never run more tyre pressure on track or anywhere, only standard recommended or maybe even 1 - 2 psi less, although unless you check the temp of the tyre across the tread you will always be guessing.
