Tire Pressure for 19" options

What does anyone run for pressure on their 19" setup? I have 19" vmr with new to me 225/35/19 for front and 255/30/19 for rear.

Just curious from a daily driver perspective and spirited driving outlet what anyone runs if similar setup.

Ive read anywhere from 32f/36R, to 38F/44R and other pressures galore. Looks like currently tire shop set to 32F / 36R but i think thats stock load rating for 18" rims.

Any personal experice is appreciated....and 49% tpms errors suck. Thinking they putzed a tpms sensor upon install or valve stem seal....we shall see.

The door jamb placard has 38/42 psi for 225/35 & 245/30 - that might be a starting point for you: https://www.carsguide.com.au/bmw/2-series/tyre-pressure

Thank you. I did look at the door jamb placard, but its for 18" rims in the US for a m235i...so wondering what transitions people have went with for 19" aftermarket pressures and their driving style.

Ill continue to fiddle on my testing I suppose. Thanks for taking the time to reply however!

I always use this tire pressure calculator when moving to a different size from the door jamb in order to match the load rating: https://tiresize.com/pressure-calculator/

Also, verify your new pressures dont exceed the maximum load rating on those tires.
