Correct tyre pressures

[335i Lci]

Hi guys

I want to know what you guys think is the correct tyre pressures to run, I have the 225 35 in front and 255 30 at the back, 19inch. The insert on the car says its 2.8 in front and 3.5 at the back, I feel those are too high. Opinions please?

Much appreciated

Yeah, 3.5 is over most performance tyre's recommended limit.

Correct tyre pressure depends on the tyre, the load, the use and the road temperature.

But just for a daily driven car, most tyres will see even wear between 2.0 and 2.3 bar.

Lower pressure gives slightly better grip straight line and will be more comfortable.
Higher pressure will see slightly better economy and crisper turn-in.
Play around and see what suits you.

If you load the car for a trip, ramp the pressures up about 0.2 bar.

Good luck

I also have the 19" and I run 2.5 up front and 2.7 at the back.

235/35 up front and 265/35 at the back.
