tire pressure on winter tires

vladmury · 11-22-2016, 01:20 PM

Guys, what pressure are you using for the winter tires? My 325d with sport suspension has 2.4 with 2.9 for 225/45/17 winters, I am running now with 2.6 and 2.9 since I find the car too soft. Tires are Dunlop sport winter contact 5 non runflat.

I use the pressure recommended on the door plate

Agreed, just use the recommended pressure for the tyre size you're fitting.

I find recommended pressure for winter tires is too soft for non runflats, I am running 2.7 with 2.9 now and its great.
