Correct pressure for Dunlop Winter Sport 3D 225/40/18?

Using this squared setup on my OEM wheels as my winter setup. Was wondering what pressure to put on front and rear. OEM runflats were 36 front, 39 rear (for daily driving of course, not track).

Correct torque to apply to wheel lugs?

I've been doing 100 ft-lbs, but heard somewhere it should be like 87... What does BMW recommend?

The op is asking tire pressure not torque specs on the bolts.

I have the same setup and I've been running 38 PSI a piece and they've felt great thus far

Lets dial back the asshole ok?

In the OPs first post he mentions tire specs, which nobody answered.

You made an assumption of OEM sizes when you said OEM tire pressures.

With a 225 square setup the pressure needs changes because of the smaller tire and the lack of rfts.

As a person who runs the exact same winter setup I mentioned what I run and have had success with.
