The trade off is it will shorten the life of the tire, and will make handling soft and spongey by comparison. It may also get louder road noise, but may not, there are other factors in play on that one. If the specs call for split pressures F/R, favor the lower one. Use a simple ratio formula on their width to check your target numbers. Last edited by chad86tsi; 11-03-2022 at 07:38 PM.. |

I guess I'll have to do more testing. I drive pretty conservatively in winter, so I don't think my changing the psi will make too much tangible difference since I'm within the acceptable range anyway and knock wood I've always managed to control my car even when I hit a black patch of ice, etc.

Anyway, my recommendation is based on the fact that I owned an E85 Z4M roadster, which weighs slightly more than a 3.0si I think, and it recommends 32/32 F/R on the door jamb stock. I ran 225 square winter tires for years like that. Can't say I tried playing around with it, though. BMWs that come with RFT tires seem to have high recommended pressures, so if you are using a non-RFT winter tire I might be tempted to use the M pressure since it comes with non RFT tires. |

I recall from my manual that the F36/R42 was for reg speeds not just >100mph but anyway it doesn't really apply here because they are specific to a staggered setup of 225/255 18" and my winters are a square RFT 225 17".
