I finally found the sweet spots on my car--with my 19's and PS2's. The "backwards" rears 32 psi and fronts 34 psi.

I set mine a little low, 32/37 PSI. The runflats are harsh enough without inflating them to 36/44 PSI. And, although it happens, I rarely make it over 100MPH.

Reading Znod's reply above... I may just try his settings....

I hope my settings work for you. Please let us know either way. I usually run 32 all around on my runflats. Note that I am more interested in happy driving than getting an unknown number of additional miles out of my tires.

psi in bar or whatever how do you transform it?
2.2-2.4 bar. Is that correct?
