TYre Pressure Alpina Wheels

Post by WelshBentleyBoy »

My 1989 Highline has the following wheels and tyres.

PCD 5x120
Two (x2) Front Wheels - 8.5j x 17" ET13 Alpina Part No. 3611638 (Tyre -235/45/17)
Two (x2) Rear Wheels - 9.5j x 17" ET28 Alpina Part No. 3611637 (Tyre - 265/40/17)

Can anybody tell me the correct tyre pressures please

Thanks

Paul

usually 35 psi/ 2.5 bar is what you want.

The tire states the MAXIMUM pressure at the maximum load. You can run them there, but it'll be a lot harsher ride than it needs to be.

The only number regarding pressure is "Maximum pressure 50 PSI"

I will run them at 35

Thanks for your help

Ran them at 35 but the ride was very hard. Reduced them to 32 and the ride is fine
