Post your tire pressures!
Are tire pressures something anyone else here is constantly messing with?
MPSS: Last year I briefly used 42/45 and felt the car was too stiff and dart-ey. This year I've been using 35/37 so far and feel the car is way too squishy. Towards the end of last year before I put my snows on I used 38/42 and found the car to react nicely. I personally prefer keeping pressures staggered, but I'm sure I'll tweak that shortly as well. Also, obviously, I feel stock BMW pressures are way too low. What do you guys keep your tires at? |

Hankook RS3 255/35 square. Try to run 34 warm, but they're a little low ATM. On track I shoot for 35-36 hot.

36F 38R for daily street driving most year round, if it's summer in AU the roads get extremely hot so 34F 36R

36/40 cold is the sweet spot for me.

I'm happy with 36F 38R. Haven't experimented with other pressures.
I wonder why BMW recommends 32 on the front? Maybe for more comfort. Maybe for more understeer but the staggered tires provide that by themselves. |
