Tyre pressures on 19s - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

leeadam · 01-14-2011, 11:42 AM

tried searching on here but decided to post.
What do most people find to be best tyre pressure on the 19 inch rims, i have runflat bridgestones.
Dam things are a pain for inner wear unless spot on with pressure. What have most people found the best?
thanks

I did alot of searching for correct pressures when I got my 19s too - I'm on same tyres as you and running 41 psi on the rear and 37 psi on the front. Hope that helps !

36 front, 42 rear for me, same set up

38 front and 45 rears for me, regularly carry a passenger or two, completely even wear for me thus far since June 2009...

2.7Bar on the front and 3.2Bar on the rear for me.

PSI measurements are:

40/46 (or thereabouts).

EDIT:

this is on 19" 225m wheels which are 225/35 and 255/30 (front/rear) and on the OEM Bridgestone RFT.

0.2 bar above whatever BMW recommend worked for me.

I had inner wear after 18k miles on the RFT's (although they were possibly a bit under inflated). Used 0.2 bar over and saw even wear across the tyres over the next 6k miles.
