All I'm really asking is whether it's okay to run something like 30 psi front / 34 rear instead of what's in the door jamb: 32 psi front / 38 rear.
Seems like this shouldn't be an issue, right? We're taking about 10% or less drop in tire pressure to get some comfort, that's all.
(And yes, next car will not be a BMW, definitely... that's another topic... I did the sporty thing, enjoyed it for many years on the right roads, and now would prefer something more comfy.
)
And thank you all as always for the many responses!
