Hi

I have a 2006 330i M sport and I’ve just replaced the Bridgestone rft tyres with Goodyear Assymetric 3.

I was wondering what tyre pressures to use? On the Brigestones I was running according to the placard on the door 2.5/2.8 but those tyres had different speed and load ratings to the Goodyears:

Rft 225/18/40 88 W, 255/18/35 90 W
Non rft 225/18/40 92 Y, 255/18/35 94 Y

Thanks in advance

I'd run them at the same pressures.

The internal volume hasn't changed so the pressure doesn't need to.

I run my F1 Assym 2s at 36f/38r (I don't like 40psi in the rear unless heavy loaded or long trip)

I had my car tyres at 40 PSI for a week or so and it just felt too hard. Around 35 PSI feels nice.

Hi rk164,

I also have a 2006 330i with Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 tyres fitted all around.

I run 36psi on the front and 38psi on the rear. Sometimes when touring on long journeys with a full car and boot I put the rears up to 39psi or 40psi.

However day to day driving 36 Front / 38 Rear is perfect.

Thanks for all the replies. I’ll try 36/38 to start and see how it goes.

i run mine at stock pressures (in the door jam)

32psi Front and 37psi rear E91 - seems to work for me

Same as you, I ditched the RFs for Goodyear Asymmetric 3 earlier this year. Run stock pressures as per the door. Working fine for me so far.

[RENT-A-GOAT]

I run Goodyear F1 Asym 3's on my E91 have always kept the pressures in the door no issues. Nice even wear all round with loads of grip.

+1 for standard pressures. The harder/thicker wall of the RFTs doesn't mean that the the tyre needs less pressure and vice versa.

From memory, that sounds about right.
