Tire Pressure/TPMS

jballon · 09-06-2011, 03:41 PM

In may I got VMR VB3s for my e90 and had them do a TPMS swap from my stock wheels to the VB3s and yesterday I noticed my tire looked a little low, but had not seen a TPMS warning on the dash. I checked it manually with a pressure gauge and saw it was at 32 PSI, now the tire (Hankook evo V12s) says MAX PSI is 45. Should I always have it at 45? And also how do I set the TPMS minimum PSI before it gives a warning, should that also be at 45 PSI? My car didn't have an owners manual when I got it otherwise I would just look it up.

Thanks in advance guys

32 is on the lower side but do note that air pressures do rise depending on the environment as well as driving conditions. For daily driving conditions you will see about a 2 PSI rise. I would recommend starting off at 35 PSI cold.
