Tyre pressure

Interesting conversation from the Asia section. For 20" wheels, assuming OEM specs (245/35R20 and 285/30R20), what do you guys use for tyre pressure?

I don't think RFTs are available in 20" so I am going to further assume those stated in the user manual are non-rft pressures.

So in the manual, for speed < 100MPH/160KPH, BMW recommends 35/36 for normal load, and same for full loads.

For speed > 100MPH/160KPH, BMW recommends 35/36 for normal load, and as high as 41/47 for full loads!

What do you guys use and what's your opinion about comfort and handling with your pressure levels? Assuming the wheels are correctly balanced, of course

Comments appreciated!
