Why is proper tire pressure crucial for the performance of an Audi R8?

I recently bought an Audi R8 and I want to make sure I am maintaining it correctly. I've heard that tire pressure can affect the performance of the car. Can you explain why and give some tips on how to maintain the appropriate tire pressure?

Maintaining the proper tire pressure is crucial for the performance of your Audi R8. The recommended tire pressure for this vehicle is 34 psi (pounds per square inch) front and 36 psi rear. Incorrect tire pressure can affect handling, braking, and fuel efficiency.

Proper tire pressure ensures even distribution of weight, providing optimal contact between the tire and the road. This improves handling and traction, and can also extend the life of your tires.
