I have the 19/20 826s on the G80 and I was wondering if people are following the tire recommendations on the door? Looking for road use, not track settings. Thanks

I usually run my tires about 2-3 psi higher than the specified amount. With this approach I have gotten pretty good mileage and wear out of the tires. On my old F82 with PSS I was closing in on 20K mi with the expectation that I would be replacing the tires between 22K and 25K. I drove somewhat moderately but aggressively when the road and traffic permitted.

I just dropped mine to 32/33. Dealer had it at 40

Checked mine this morning and they were all different and over inflated. Left rear was 42!
Set them to 32/33 per door jamb sticker. Ride quality improved as expected.

This makes me crazy. If you can’t get something as simple as tire pressure right why would I trust you with something complex.

It’s such a common issue that I usually check the pressure before a test drive. Drove a Giulia QV last year that felt like a truck. Checked the pressure and they had something north of 20psi over recommended.
Salesman told me this was normal because it was cold out.

I’m running 34/35. Seems good.

They all do this to every car they get their hands on. New cars prepped for delivery; their entire inventory; demos; loaners; and cars in for service or repair. I have never received a logical explanation for this so I have stopped asking. Like "Bill" said...I just learned to accept those things over which I have no control. When picking up your car or a loaner, those of us OCD types (and you know who you are) are just going to have to reset the tire pressure. Namaste.

Addendum: Just picked up my new M4 Comp yesterday and sure enough...rated pressure on the door jamb 32lbs. front & rear...actual pressure 50lbs. Felt like the tires were made of concrete. Like I said Namaste.

I have such a problem that I check the tire pressure and usually oil & wiper blades of friends and families cars whenever they stop by. My wife thinks it’s only a matter of time before I’m wandering parking lots with a tire gauge and a hand pump.

Run the pressures calculated by iDrive.

My tire pressures were too high as well from delivery and the iDrive settings were set to “other/track”… when I switched it over to the 20” rear and took air out to 32/33psi, my tire pressure warning comes on every time I start my car now.

Not sure what the issue is.

Change the tire type/setting in the iDrive.
I set mine to Track/other tires and it doesn’t bug me anymore. Which I am running wider wheels and tires any ways but it stopped the finicky light from coming on.

I run mine 35F and 38R. I understand the firmer ride and center wear. I honestly can't stand the soft ride and the inside camber wear with the lower inflation so I always increase my tires with cambered cars 3-6lbs but I never run the max pressure on the sidewall of the tire
