Correct tyre pressures

S2000>Audi>330d · 08-31-2009, 06:40 AM

A little confused at the correct tyre pressures for my 330d M Sport Touring. The pressure guidance plaque inside the driver's door doesn't list the tyre sizes fitted to the car, even though they're standard.

Tyres fitted are:-

Front - Michelin Pilot Sport ZP Runflat - 255/40 ZR 18 RSC
Back - Michelin Pilot Sport ZP Runflat - 255/35 ZR 18 RSC

Any help guidance much appreciated.

Cheers, Doug

I'm guessing 34 front, 39 rear.

Should say in the inside of the drivers door. Have a look, I think it must be higher at the front. 38front, 39 back i reckon. (but I have an E90 and that is off the top of my head).

The fronts should be 225!

As Carl has said the fronts should be 225 not 255. Is that a typo?

dxb335d · 08-31-2009, 08:47 AM

Id run 37F 39R if i were you!

S2000>Audi>330d · 08-31-2009, 10:53 AM

Yup, typo. 225.

I'll chuck in 37 and 39 and see how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback :-)

You can go to the Michelin website for recommended tyre pressures for your car/tyres. When I did this though the Michelin recommended PSI was quite a bit lower than the door plate.

Maybe Michelin are hoping to sell you some tyres sooner ;-)
