Tire pressure on non runflat tires?

SiN55 · 02-02-2011, 02:39 PM

New tires on the car. Michelin Pilot Sport2 245 35 18 rear and 225 40 18 front. Softier than RFT OEM Bridgestone. Any experiences about right tire pressure? Thanks!

Nobody? So, everyone runs runflats here.

The same as rft.

Start off with the same pressure as you ran with your old RFT. Then start to play around with the pressures. Go up/down in 0.2bar increments. Go with what feels best to you.

On my 128i, I found that when I replaced the OEM summer touring RFTs to Conti DWS, bumping the pressures up by 3 lbs to 35/38 tightened the cornering feel up considerably.

As Dackleone said, start with stock & experiment.

Thanks, that's resonable but I thought that there is some specific pressure, some exact numbers.

I recommend playing with the pressures to see what you are most comfortable with. Starting at 35 is a good start.
