Tyre pressures
I am sure its on here some where but what pressure should i run in a E92 on 19" 225 alloys with Bridgstone rft.
I only drive my wifes car on the odd journey the ride is awful . She drives it on her own and is 10 stone ,I see on the door it gives different pressure for different people ie 2 or 4 . TIA |

I just run mine towards the lower end of the range. Most of the time it's just me in the car. I know that it's down to personal preference, but how often do people run a fully laden car - people and luggage.
I would start at the lower end of the range and change the pressures depending upon how it feels. |

Something I needed to ask also.
I have read on here some people reccomend running them at a slightly higher pressure than BMW state for the Bridgestone RFT's which apparently helps or stops the wear people complain about.

wow!....44 at the rear is a tiny bit too much....
I've got 18 inch wheels....and currently run 36 front and 38 rear.... tried a few combinations... I think for 19 inch wheels, 38 for the front and 40 for the rears.... |

0.2 bar above recommended pressures. I run mine at 2.6 bar front and 3bar rear. Certainly helped prevent early inner tyre wear. Currently on 20k miles on rears. time for a change soon to non rfts!!
