E46 M3 19's TYRE PRESSURE

[rjm8282]

Hi All,

I have just purchased a M3 SMGII. Its got 19 inch alloys running on Michelin Pilot Sports 2 (225/40 - 255/35). I have been told various tyre pressures, from 33/35 - 38/38.

Any help please??

Look at the sticker on the door shut.

Did that, it only states 2.4 rear. Nothing on the front? And I wanted peoples recommendations. I have heard its better to run on 38/38 to help with understeer.

Any advice?

I would imagine the Stock pressures are slighlty lower on the front than the rear.

From my manual it says:

33/35 is for 1 driver and 1 passenger

41/48 for 4 people and some luggage

But this is for the convertible so I'm not sure if it's the same (I assume you have a Coupe?)

I run 34/36, tried loads of variations and that works well on the coupe.

Yes mine is a coupe. Should be the same. I'll give 34/36 ago and see how I get on. I have lots of tread left in the middle of the tyre and I know if you do 38/38 this helps wear out the middle, getting the most out of your tyre.

Thanks.
