Tyre Pressures

[DavidM]

35 psi all round on my Z3 - same wheel size as you state.

Beginning to look as though we all settle on what suits us as much as what they "should" have?

Just looked through the Z3 and Z4 ranges on Autodata and it shows that a car with same sized wheels all round with have the same pressure front one rear and that any staggered set ups will have a difference of + 3 psi from front to rear. So my Z4 33- 36 psi.

Just a quick question,why more pressure in the back than the front? I know with our pickup I sometimes puta 600 kg bag in the back that makes the front pretty light,I know I sometimes carry Sarah in the Z but she's nowhere near 600 kgs

Ouch, your in trouble now mate.....

I assume because they're the "driven " wheels Hugh, because usually front wheel drive vehicles have higher pressure in the front wheels than in the rears. Usually the rear pressure "loaded" is increased on front wheel drive vehicles.

Just thinking that the z is quite evenly balanced and the engine is a bit of a lump up front
