225/18 front and 245/18 rear

I'm a little confused with the set up... On the placard next to the door. It says "small load" 220kpa (32psi) all round. For "big load" 250kpa (36psi) front and 300kpa (43.5) rear.

To me that's a HUGE difference!!

For me 80% of the time I drive by myself, but I also have stuff in the boot.

What setup are you guys running?

32 all around?
I think it's 32f 38r.

The 36f 43f it's if you have 4 people and full boot

My door jamb placard is 33F 38R

I was running a few lbs higher for daily driving and it may just increase center tire wear.

For sustained high speed like a long highway trip in hot temp when u might see 100 or over I pump up an extra 4 lbs/tire - though I'm not certain if BMW recommends 3 or 4 pounds for sustained high speed

maybe I read the placard wrong.... will check again tomorrow.

Yea it's weird bmw put different recommendations...

Hence why good to hear what owners' views are base on their experience

my M235i is 33/38, my fathers 228i M-Sport is 32/38. think BMW changes it based on the tire

I guess the difference for the front between 235 and 228 is rather due to the lighter motor under the hood ...
