F10 535i stock 18" tire pressure

[porky88]

From the driver side door sticker:

For stock 18" wheels
Standard = 200kPa (front), 230kPa (rear)
Full Load = 250kPa (front), 300kpa (rear)

who do you guys put in? what's your typical load?

i think just follow standard will be fine (still got little comfort)
the full load ? how heavy is full load?
I will think if you happen to carry full load may be can just increase by 10% will do.
Do remember to increase a little pressure if you are doing long journey too

Just top up to full tank then pumped. cold tires.

front: 36psi / 250 kpa

rear: 39psi / 270 kpa

when I reached home, had a look at the tire contact patch..
Front just nice, but rear tire like over inflated leh? Maybe no passengers?

I believe the tires were inflated to 37 or 38 psi when they left PML

re-post from another thread:


I am on 245/40/18 Bridgestone RFT. I usually pump it to 250 front; 270 rear.

However, when my car went for servicing at PML, they pump it to 260 / 290. I verified it with the CSO and they checked that it is correct at 260 / 290. This seems to be similar to the label pasted on the car door frame.

Re: F10 535i stock 18" tire pressure

Hi, i was going thru the threads and found this one. I'm assuming you all drive a F10 535i. Can I ask for some feedback on your rides? As I'm considering to change my ride for a F10 535. How is the fuel consumption? Any problems with the ride so far? Saw a lot on Sg Carmart and all mileage low and only a few months old. Can't help but wonder why???. Pls advice..... Thanks

Re: F10 535i stock 18" tire pressure

Ride is problem free. Fuel consumption is ok.. average 400 on a full tank. Never really monitor and don't really care.
