Tire pressures?

rmorin1249 · 07-07-2019, 10:15 AM

For those that are using their X5 as a daily driver with light loads, what tire pressures are you running? The recommended pressures seem high. I have 20" runflats tires.

Disclaimer: Mine's an X3 and not a daily driver...but, I do drive with light loads :-) I have always set my pressure according to the A pillar pressure stickers on all my cars. Never had an issue. Here is my sticker and I do set my staggered set up at 32 each. I get around 28-29 mpg on trips and tires wear evenly...even the staggered's.

I also use my X5 as a DD w/light loads and use the recommended pressure on the A pillar sticker.

Always followed sticker guidance on the A-Pillar

Dealer had mine set at 38F and 42R. The idrive settings are different from A pillar label which says 33F and 41R. This must be for full loads.
