Tire Pressures

hppypaul · 03-20-2010, 07:16 PM

First nice day in NJ today and I reset tires all the way around.

Tag on the door says 39 front, 41 back. Seemed high compared to my previous Z4 with sport pkg, but i set them this way and car handles great.

Does this sound right? I guess you can't go wrong with matching the tag spec, but any help is appreciated. It's a lease so I do the runflats. Never bothered me that much on the Z.

Thanks

As long as you go onto what the side tag said you should be fine. The only difference is if you drive over 130 then should be a few more psi over. When did you get yr 1er?

recent thanksgiving.
drove it weekly all winter to keep it fresh on dry days.
now a daily driver. today was an awesome day. went
out to the Sands casino in bethlehem pa and drove
a winding ride back. it's an awesome car. even better
than my Z4 which was tough to beat.

Great, that is around the same time when I picked my 2010 from my dealer. If the 1er convertible is a hard top I'd definitely get it but always afraid of the bird crap (when the top is down) & some a.hole might cut it open & steal my stuffs inside the car. Sorry, is my honest opinion hope is not gonna scare you. But nothin beats a top down sunny sky cruising down the freeway. Word!!!

I dont' worry so much like i used too, but it could happen.
prefer the soft top as there is a trunk in the 1er that the 3 does not have.

love the top down so much don't think i can go back.
