Dear all,

I've just upgraded from the standard 17" wheels (whick I always hated), to a set of the 18" MV2s. Car is a 520D SE LCI (2008)

Question is what pressure should I be running at?

On the label on the B pillar, this tyre is listed, but with "(front)" written next to it. Currently running 2.0 Bar front, and 2.4 Bar back.

Anyone else running these, and at what pressure?

Many Thanks

James.

I used 2.4 in front and 2.8 in rear when I had that size. I think 2.0 and 2.4 are too low, check the diagram in the door frame.

I run front 2.2 bar, rear 2.6 bar, non run-flat.

The 2.0 and 2.4 numbers are for run-flat.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in the original post.

My tyres ARE run flat.

Thanks for the help.

James.
