Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25V Winter Tire Pressure

CT_335D · 11-27-2012, 11:43 AM

I have a 2009 BMW 335d with Bridgestone Blizzak 205/50-17 non run flat winter tires.

Does anyone know the correct tire pressure for these tires?

New England (Connecticut) weather conditions.

The car manual shows 33/41 PSI (front/rear) for the original tire size of 225/45-17. The 205/50-17 size was the optional tire size for my car.

Thanks

I would suggest asking this question in the wheel/tire forum so that the tire rack guys can chime in as they will give you the right answer.

My personal guess: I'm not sure sure about the direct answer to your question, but the 50 profile ratio on this tire has a lower max psi than the 45 profile (44 vs 50 psi), so I would probably lean toward keeping the cold temp for the rear no higher than the 35-38 range.

Best of luck!
