Hi Everyone.

I have an E60 M sport with the 19" spider alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tyres Extra load 93Y. They seem to be wearing unevenly. On the front I have 245/30/19 and on the rear 275/30/19. I have searched everywhere on the internet and manual and cannot find the correct air pressures. I used to fill at 30psi and was advised by a local tyre place at 36 psi. Can someone please help. I will need to replace one of the rears at the middle is at 1.68mm. Can anyone recommend a cheap budget tyre? perhaps Nankang or Walini.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 has a max rating of 50 psi so don't go with 60 psi!

You'll probably want to go somewhere between 35-40 psi depending on whether you often go high speed; want performance over comfort and have many passengers in the car. If you put a checkmark to all those statements you'll like need 40 both front and back and possibly with a few more psi in the rear than the front.

60 PSI, isn't that just too stiff, tires could go anytime there.

I have the pressures for the 19"s in my door - but they are in BAR not PSI. Converting them if I remember correctly the pressures are 32PSI front and 37PSI rear.

Mine are filled to 36 in the front and 40 in the rear. I had terrible luck with the Hankooks but the Michelins have been pretty good so far.
