I did a search but I didn't find anything that provides anything concrete. There are lots of recommendations on 20's but not 19's which is what I have.

If you have the Falken FK452 19's - Front 245/35/19 + Rear 275/30/19, please let me know which tire pressure works for you. I live in SoCal so the temperature is warm to hot. My current psi is 34 fronts and 38 rears.

TIA everyone. :)

I'm running 39 front 42 rear on my 19's

They're conti's but I would assume it is the same for the Falkens :)

Im running exactly those tyres and sizes, im running 36 up front and 39 at the rear currently, seems decent in the dry and wet so far, no signs of odd tyre wear atm, I generally run quite light and not fully loaded btw.

set's up I've found for 19" wheels on 245/35, 275/30 are:


32/35
34/38
38/42


34/38 is nice and in the middle...but i like 38/42 for the protection just in case...

**you'll find a little more info via search if you search under "166 psi" :thumbsup:

It doesn't matter brand or what sz, you have to look on the driver side door panel and it will tell you. It has sz for 18's and 19's that's what you go by.

his 528 most likely does not have 19" wheels psi's on the door panel, for sure my 535i does not, but the psi's are listed in the manual.....but just because it's in the manual doesn't mean it's the only choice you have :geek: :)

yes...

I dont think thats obscene, similar to what I ran with my E46, but my reasoning was purely to have less sidewall flexing, im happy for the sidewalls to move around a little more on the E60 to increase the comfort a little.
