Time has come. Winter tires are on!

OwnAge · 11-29-2010, 12:44 PM

Wasnt a fun thing to do. Specially when the jack got stuck after doing the second wheel. Car got lower when I put one 16" on and even on it's lowest setting jack didn't slide out. I had to bang the hockey puck out and do the other wheels without the puck.

Quick question. What tire pressure should be in 16" 205 ?

DESI4life10 · 11-29-2010, 12:49 PM

Lol..we already have a thread for this...search you noob

As for the pressure I do 32 front and 36 rear

MMachines · 11-29-2010, 01:39 PM

I put my car down on wooden blocks to ensure no issues.

OwnAge · 11-29-2010, 01:47 PM

Lol I don't spend as much time on here as I used to Raj. Plus I like to have my own thread, plus it's kinda hard to search with an iPhone

Good question on the tire pressure as I'm putting them on this week.
I thought stock pressure was 32 front, 38 rear???

dpwr · 11-29-2010, 08:39 PM

redfox · 11-29-2010, 08:46 PM

Not sure about the 16s, but I have the non-staggered 17s on my car and the sticker on the door jam calls for different pressures for the front and rear.

OwnAge · 12-03-2010, 05:36 AM

O did non stag. 16s with 32/36

Yea tire pressure is 36R/32 F whether it is non-stag or stag (at least for my 328xi e90).

With the exception of the wagon, door placard for cars with 16" (205/55 R16) specifies 32F/36R for sub-100 mph driving. (I wouldn't go much higher than this for winter tires)

Recommended pressures are also in your manual for this and all other OEM tire combos - see tables starting on p. 122. ("Wheels and Tires")

Anyone have fun driving around today? I'm in Markham and had to visit some friends in Stouffville, and I all I can say is that I love my tires!!!

Going up 9th line, 4 cars in the ditch including two SUVs. One R Class rear-ended by an Accord. On the way back, Police had closed the road and had me detour thru Elgin Mills. Didn't realize the downhill turn right before the Hwy 48 intersection, slammed on the brakes and tires grabbed like it was dry! Wife didn't realize how worried I was until I mentioned it.

Anyways, this is my first RWD car (every day use), and first set of Winters, and all I can say is... I want more snow!!!
