How to determine your tire PSI from the manual.
I have the 369m wheels. The tires are 245/45/19 102v.
In the electronic manual it would appear that the recommended PSI should be 41/46. That seemed high. I then consulted the owners manual, page 209-210 and there it says 41/46 under full load. 32/38 for partial load. So that seems like a big difference! Our x3 occupancy stats: Ave passengers 2.5 Mode=2 Min 1 max 3. What tire pressure should I fill to? 41/46?? |

I set my winter tires to 32/25 f/r
18" wheels and tires I do notice a fair bit of tramlining on rutted roads with the winter tire at the specified pressure.

Depends on your driving and your goal. I prefer a firmer ride, less movement, and a greater ability to absorb impact, so I run them on the higher end of the range. Mine are currently set at 38/41.
