Tite pressure suggestions
I'm running style 215's all around wrapped in 295/40/20 toyo proxy II tires. Butler tire used BMW specs with 32 front and 39 rear nitrogen pressure. Since I am not running BMW spec sized tires and wheels should I go with a different amount?

What is your opinion?
...I think the psi is fine, if maybe a tad high in rear w/out load.
Door jamb sticker & manual will give you the same data/opin.

They went by the specs on the door jam. I just though since I am running the same sized tire all around that the psi would be the same. I don't haul anything around, other than a gym bag. I would rather go with what will prolong tire life as opposed to performance. I'll keep thread searching for someone with similar a setup.

That's my point...my '01 door jamb sticker shows a list of wheel/tire sizes; ours came with style 69 18", same size all around.
My info label shows 32/32 and 32/39 with load. Same for my replacement oem style 132 19s, staggered.
Thus, I would bet 32/32 is fine and 32/35 is fine and...32/39 with load.
So, bleed off a few pounds of that "N" from the rears.

I think so too, although it doesn't show 295 psi recommendations on my door jam sticker.
