Spilchy- Dangerous? No. Correct?

Be sure you're not reading the "fully loaded" inflation pressure. Our Audis have two pressures, one for normal use and one for when the cars are full of people and luggage. The "fully loaded" psi is in the forties, BTW.

You can see how the car handles and how the tires wear and adjust accordingly. And remember that even wear doesn't always mean the best handling either.

But there's nothing dangerous about running a pressure that far under the tires' maximum. IMO it's usually even safe to run a pressure far in excess of the stated max.
