Air pressure on 22" wheels

Hi there. I have a set of 22" Asanti wheels on my X5 right now and they look low. I have them set at 35psi on all four tires but not sure if that is the correct pressure. What do you guys have them set at? I also might be selling these but not sure. Just trying to figure out before my tires wear out unevenly.

Thanks.

Your manual and the door sticker will show various
suggested air pressure readings, for different size
wheel/tire combos, under different loads.

22s are not standard on any X5, but imo, 32 lbs
is a good starting point, to 35 psi if you like a little
stiffer ride.

If you polled here, most would report running 32-35 lbs.
I've run more than 35, in the rear, fully loaded to the
gunwales, but not rec'd.

Uneven tire wear is usually another symptom if your
tires are properly inflated...

I since 22''s typically have such low sidewall, I run them a little higher than my oem 17's. I typically set pressure to be about 33-34 psi.

Hi, I'm running 22'' kahn's with 295/30/ZR/22/103W, and as a rule of thumb,increase your tyre pressure 2psi for every 1'' increase in diameter,
(32psi for standard 19'' = 38psi for 22'').......

So, would you set the 22"s to 33-34 or is that the number for the 17"s?

Thanks.

2psi for every 1'' increase is only a general guide,I was told this by my tyre fitter,it's a good starting point and you won't go far wrong,
I increased from 19'' to 22'' and run with 37-38psi all round..
