Tyre pressures - non rft

Is the tyre pressure sticker on the car door still the best advice to go with for non rft tyres? They look almost like they're flat, even at 2.5bar??

They're 225/35/R19 and 255/30/R19 btw

I run 36 rear and 34 front on my 18s so you should have no problems with that on your 19"s

I have the same tyre sizes & was running 2.5 bar rear, 2.3 front but the last time the car went to BMW Arden they adjusted pressures to 2.2 bar all round. I have been at those pressures for a year or so & all is good.

Should be the same pressure but they will feel softer because the sidewalls are less rigid so guys will increase the pressure to get the firm feel back but also will loose some traction and gain some wear.

If I run the same pressures as recommended for the rft, the car feels shit.
I dropped to about 34/36. Much better.
