Tire Pressure Monitor and Tire Settings Question
Ok, I searched on this and didn't come up with the answer, so don't kill me if it has been hashed out already.
My Tire Pressure Monitor warning came up today to check not one but all of the tires, so I did. The tire pressure is set quite high, 35psi in the front, 36psi in the rear. The label on the door jam reads a setting of 32psi front and 33psi rear. My other 750LI has the same setting. Should I lower the tire pressures and set a the recommendations of the factory label ?

Sir
I now realize that since you asked this question on your other thread, that you were serious. I use the door jam as a guide. I put about 2psi higher than posted. You should be fine. 1 or 2 psi should not change the ride. 5 psi one should notice a softer ride. Enjoy your 7-7-7. The polar trim with unique grains is really rich and adds much depth. |

Thank You for the heads up, all of my cars had different pressures. I set them all to what was on the label and reset the TPM. I supposed I could go up by two PSI but Im happy with the ride quality so far, just couldn't figure out why they would be super-inflated from the dealer.... Don't they usually under-inflate the tires so that they wear out sooner? :P

I don't like it when the front tires are softer. |
