22" tire pressures

Dcinlv · 02-05-2019, 12:05 AM

Those of you with the 22's, what tire pressures are you using front & rear? The suggested in iDrive feel overinflated.

check your door plate

Would like to know too... my experience of using the door plate (in my past BMWs) pressures is premature tyre wear.
Adding some PSI seems to help.
I'm running an M50d on 315/30/22 rear & 275/35/22 front. Both are non-RFT.
Based in Ireland so average annual ambient temp is probably around 10C.
Usually drive alone with little or no luggage.
Any recommendations for similar conditions & weight?

iDrive is telling me 42 in the fronts and 47 in the back so that's what I'm running. 22" Contis

Same here (42PSI Front, 47PSI Rear, 22" Contis as well

I'm at 39 fronts and 42 rear for a little more comfort no issues so far 8 months on NYC roads

I'll be throwing on 20" wheels and blizzaks for winter driving (first winter with this setup) any ideas on tire pressure? Will iDrive throw an error as I'm guessing the tire pressure on the 20" wheels will be different than the 22s?

You can go into iDrive and select 20" under winter tires.

im running 22" and i drive tell me 33psi

Pro55 · 10-17-2020, 03:08 PM

I started of a year ago running the door plate psi and started getting premature sidewall wear on the contis. I upped it about 6 months ago by 5 psi from the low load figure and the wear is so much more even now. Got about 15000 miles on them now and measured them last week at 5 mm tread so still going strong. Pleased overall with them.

seems to be some difference between peoples readings:
fronts (275/35 R22) currently range between 33-34psi
rears (315/30 R22) currently range between 34-36psi

which seems to match the label on the car (attached below).

Guessing that's for an X5M? It's got mixed front and rear size there of 21/22"

Edit... I said it backwards but I think you know what I mean.

It's for the M50D which has 22s front and back, not the mix like the X5M.

Run flats here so no air required, solid rubber right. Its the way to go
