trikey Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hi everybody, Regarding tire pressure, I would appreciate any guidance. When I picked up my vehicle at the local BMW main dealer on a number of times, I observed that the tyre pressures, especially the rear ones, had been lowered. My tyre pressures look excessively high, according to the chap at the local Independent Specialist where I brought my vehicle for a quote on brake replacement operations the other day. What does this decal on the driver's side door of the automobile mean, exactly? See attached photo. It's usually just the two of us, my wife and I. Where is my rubber?

DMGRS Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 When I had my old x5, I inflated the tires to 34 psi. Tires last just as long after doing this for five years. Like yours, mine are 19s and staggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMH757 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Sticker suggests an overall diameter of 32. The lower box indicates lower loading pressures, whereas the upper box indicates greater loading pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr010 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Good job, I guess. And how about the behinds? Which tires are they, exactly? I take it you mean to tell me to blow them up to a size 41 (2.8)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr010 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Salud - It all makes sense now that I reread your post. Excellent, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb44 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Pirelli P-Zero 245/40R20 99Y up front. 275/35R20 102Y Pirelli P-Zeros in the back. Front: 32 PSI for a group of three, or 33 PSI for a full complement (5 passengers including baggage). for the Back Seats, 32 PSI with 3 People or 41 PSI with 5 People + Luggage + Other Stuff. for the Back Seats, 32 PSI with 3 People or 41 PSI with 5 People + Luggage + Other Stuff. Black electrical insulation tape works well for covering up extraneous tires and text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikey Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 I really appreciate you pointing this up to me in your article. Since we'll be doing some serious mileage on our next family vacation, it's important that the tyre pressures are spot on. Once again, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Lion Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 In Adelaide, where I buy my tires, the recommended pressure is 40 psi. Recently, I made the switch to nitrogen and have found that the runflats provide a smoother ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
