Tire pressure for R17 RFTs

[bryan_t]

Hi, recently got my new ride, a 2006 323i. The owner's manual did not come along with the car and the factory sticker for tyre pressures is also missing. So, I am not sure what tyre pressure it should be.

I downloaded a softcopy of the E90 manual but did not find numbers for 323i, just 325i. So, for my current tyres, 225/45R17 RFT all round, it stated 29/200 (front) + 35/240 (rear). Are these good enough or there are other recommended changes?

Thanks.
Bryan

Re: Tire pressure for R17 RFTs

thats good enough. u can lower the reaer pressure to 220 if u do not carry many passengers.

i had my 225/45 pumped 210 all around in the past.

Hi,

Got my E60, 525 last week.

Running on 245/45/17 RFTs. Recommended pressure was 230 (front) and 270 (rear).

Have not tried any other configurations yet.

Cheers!

Your OBC has been pre-set with the original tyre pressure. If it deviates, the warning will appear.

I was told that whenever I pump air, I need to do a re-set on the computer.

If I recall correctly, press the settings button, select tyres. Then, click set.
