Boring question: winter tire pressures

Vote Quimby · 12-02-2012, 03:10 PM

Just mounted my snows and am unsure of the optimal tire pressures for an E90 335i with ZSP. I'm running square set of 18" 193M reps with 225/40/18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3s.

I typically run 36 F / 39 R in the summer on 245/35/19 F and 275/30/19 Bridgestone RE11s but given the square setup I have no idea what the right pressure is on the winter set. I'm in the GTA so I don't expect to actually ever see any snow, just cold dry pavement.

Thanks in advance,

Quimby

I leave mine at 32/34 front/rear. Never had any problems and good traction for the snow.
