What are the correct tire pressures for M3 with 19inch?
In the Manual for cars with speed limiter.
Tire inflation pressure values up to 100 mph/160 km/h are 31 PSI in Front and Rear. Tire inflation pressure values over 100 mph/160 km/h are 35 PSI in Front and 38 PSI in Rear. However, tire inflation pressure label on the driver's door pillar says 32 PSI in Front and Rear. Most of time I will be driving under 100 mph/160 km/h, what do you guys think are the correct inflation pressure? Thanks |

I would start with 32 F/R and experiment to see what you like from there. Higher pressure (say 36/36) = better fuel mileage, longer tire life, potentially better handling, harsher ride.

Thanks for the advise.
I will gradually increase the tire pressure until I find the ride/handling compromise. By the way, if you don’t mind me asking what tire pressure are you (or anyone out there) running with? This is my first M3 so sorry for asking a noob question. |
