18" tyre pressure

this may have been discussed and I tried to do a search and looked in manual but wanted to confirm the recommended real life pressure for 18 all around on a winter setup for the BMW winter set

I don't know where I got the info from but I know that I found out that it was 32 psi in front and 35 psi in rear. I do have 3rd row seat.

I have 20" winter tires now (which are also 32 / 35).

according to the manual it looks like for 18" it is 32" and 36 for under 100mph (dont think i'll be doing more) so 32 and 35 sound right

thank you for confirming.

Well, here's the thing...

That 36 in the rear is based on you driving around fully loaded. Do you?

I run 34/34 with 95% of the time there is one 110lb driver in the car. The fronts like the extra pressure to reduce edge wear.

In general tire pressure really doesnt matter once you get above the minimum. People should finetune it for how they drive, their alignment, and how they load their vehicle.

And I know that just getting a number from BMW is much more comforting.

I run 35 all around. At 32 I find the truck feels mushy and sloppy. It may be due to the stiffness of the sidewalls but I find the driving experience and tire wear to be spot on @ 35psi.
