No? Enlighten me? I hate it when the suspension tries to compensate when you jack up each corner You can press the "lock" button for the air suspension, but it only works if your using "above normal height"....

Press and hold the lock button for about 5 seconds, and a prompt will show up in the MFI that you're in Jack mode. This will keep the Touareg from trying to auto level. Jacking an air-suspended Touareg without this mode is downright dangerous, as it can shift and fall off the jack. It has also been said that the air suspension can be severely damaged if the Touareg is lifted off the ground (ie on an automotive repair lift) without putting it in lock mode.

Hope this helps,
Matt

I have these tires. Good for summer use. Good in rain. Great dry grip.They do have an M+S stamp, but trust me, they suck in the snow. My main complaint, they are LOUD. Tons of road noise. I have run mud tires on other cars that are quieter than these. My BFG AT's on my Titan are quieter.I cant wait to replace them. And that will be another 3-4 months. Right now I have about 25k miles on them. So I would say maybe 35k miles out of them. Next tire will be a Cooper Zeon LTZ in a 275/45/20. I cant wait!

I have the UHPs in 255/55-18 and find there is no noticeable tire noise. Definitely not as loud as the Pirelli Scorpions they replaced, nor the original P Zero 19s, though Pirellis are notorious screamers with a little mileage. Could be your alignment, balance, inflations, or the tire size.

Everything is good to go. Wear could definitely increase road noise. Biggest contributor would be the tire size. You have a lot more sidewall than I do.
