Hi guys,

I tried looking on the internet but I can't really find anything.

I currently have 285/25/20s in the rear ( Pirello P nero zero ) en yokohama advan sports in the front ( 245/30/20 )

I was wondering what the correct tyre pressures are since these arent OEM.

Thank you

I've seen a few guys who run 20s say they go with 40-ish psi (276-ish kpa). Due to the low profile you need to stiffen them up to prevent damage when hitting potholes, train tracks, uneven surfaces, etc.

Just stick to what ever is listed on your car for 19" and ensure you have your tracking done on a hunter or BMW system

Yes. These cars are pretty close to 50/50 weight distribution, so the same pressure is a good way to go.
