Tire Pressure for Non Runflats

What's common tire pressure to run (for handling) with non run flats on a E90? I ask because I got a sidewall bubble after just 30 days and I'm not sure if it has to do with incorrect psi.

You hit a pothole or you got a defective tire.

If you can't tell the difference, just leave it at the pressure on your door sticker...

Sidewall bubbles are results of ruptured belts. It has ZERO to do with tire pressure.

This type of question is best asked in the WHEEL AND TIRE forum, where real expert can help you. Not in the racing/track forum, IMO.
