What tire pressure do you run?

[mdistel]

My 86 325es calls for 31/31 but that seems like too much with my 15" ACT Ronal LS and Kumho tires. What do you guys run and what do other e30 models call for?

That is around the stock recommendation for an unloaded car.

I tend to run about 32-34 for the street and up to 40 on the track.

Around 34/35 psi. for general street thrashing. Michelin 195/60s on bottlecaps.

I run 38 all around on 205/60R14. if I ran 31 my tires would be flat! I know ix's are heavier but not by very much. on 15", I'd probably run around 34-35.

I was running 45 up front and 42 in the back for autocross :)

I'm a 35psi kind
of guy just hard enough, on the ix

[mdistel]

my car probably only weighs in around 2700 but I could be wrong. With 31/31 the tires aren't showing any signs of being compressed.

If you look in the manual it states about 32 for a vehicle that wouldnt be loaded to its GRVW. Ive run that fine. The pics you see of my car with Alpinas has usually 32-34 in them. Hardly underinflated.

2.3/2.4 bar front to rear. Just had to be differant.

With my yoko es100s, 36 38 has worked well for me.

[Beej '86 325es]

lately, 38/38 since I fixed my rear camber.

[franz]

The rating in the manual is for the 14/15 stock setups.

maybe it's my tires, cause if I dropped down to 32psi, I'd be riding on the side walls!
