E92 Tyre Pressures

Soul_Glo · 12-20-2013, 01:43 AM

Plate on door sill says 2.3 bar front and 2.4 bar back.
18" wheels all round.

Front: 225/40R18 W 88
Rear: 255/35R18 W 90

Went to local bmw dealer and they said that these were wrong but I cannot remember what he set them as... it made the steering feel quite precise after he had.

What tyre pressures are you lot running and what is the correct pressure?

Winter Greetings,

pressure mentioned in the plate located on door sill is for advising purposes, meaning you could advise from it but you are free to play with them in order to find the one to fit your style and driving. most of the guys from what I hear prefer slightly greater values of pressure than the ones on the plate.
my 320i pre-lci advises for a 2.0-2.3 but I prefer a 2.1-2.4
