Just wondering whether any of you guys know the correct tyre pressure for my 19's - Front 245 / 35 / 19 + Rear 275 / 30 / 19?

I know someone is going to say look on the label where the door is but that only has the pressure for my standard 17" RFTs....

My 530d has this in the label of the door... but it's in the shop right now.... so i can't help you.. sorry...

I recall them being 3,0 for the front tires and 3,2 for the rear... or was it the other way around ?

Go to your tire manufactures website and see what they recommend. My tires (Falken) you can actually got to the application guide for your specific car and it will tell you what PSI to run in the front and back, which is 40 in the front and 36 in the rear with that exact set up you have.

The sticker says max 2.4 Bar F and 2.9 Bar R and that's what I use.

Goes for both for my 225/55 17" and 19"ers.

See pic.

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige Manny tranny and other stuff Recently gone, but never forgotten: 2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name) Torch Red/Crimson Manny tranny and every option available for that year 2002 Chrysler 300M Special Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss

My door sticker says 35psi front/38psi rear.

I can't believe somebody runs 45psi in their tires! That's a blowout begging to happen.
