Tire Pressure

merlin3008 · 11-27-2015, 08:53 PM

Just curious... AWD crew, what tire pressure are you guys running in your front and rears? I generally go about two pounds over recommended in my other cars, but have never owned a car with tires with this low of a profile. I'm on the stock 18s.

Thanks!

My 1-week-old 228i THP says 33/38 on the door sticker. The on-board measurement seems very temperature-sensitive, and I had to go about 2lbs over on my usually-accurate half-held gauge to get those values displayed. I don't know which is more accurate, but I could tell the difference between 30 and 33 in the front on the steering (33 was better!)

I think I'm running cold 35 front and 37 rear on staggered tires. Not saying that's right though.
