Tire pressure - 225/50ZR16 on Style 5's
Hi guys - forgive me if I missed this during my forum search, but it occurred to me recently that the tire pressures originally recommended for the TRX's on my M6 (see photo) may not be correct for the 225/50ZR16 tires on Style 5 rims that I actually have. Is the size close enough that no adjustment is needed?

I would start @ 33 psi. Then go up or down a pound or two to what you think feels the best.

Thanks. The reason this came up is because an acquaintance of mine remarked that the tires looked a bit low despite being around this pressure (if not a bit higher). However, he (and I as well) may just be used to looking at more modern low-profile tires, whose sidewalls don't "bulge" as much in the recommended pressure range.olympia57 wrote:I'm running 32 psi all round on 225/50/16 Kumho's on 7 x 16 style 5's .

I usually aim for 35 when I refill them. Personal preference, but right in that range is good.
