Don't you have the tyre pressure label stuck to the B-Pillar (only visible when the driver's door is open?)

I have 225/50 R17 and I think the label says around 2.2Bar / 32Psi.

I have it, but I swapped my rfts for non rfts, I'm just thinking that the label states only for rfts or am I wrong ?
The label shows Front 2.4 and rear 2.8 is that right for my tires 245/40/18 97y

I just switched from RF's to Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position all-weather tires. The installer said to follow the air pressure label on the door pillar which is what I have done.

from what I gather, you use the stated tyre pressures in the hand book/on the B-Pillar irrespective of whether you're using RFT's or non-RFT's.

When I moved from RFT to non-RFT, I started to put 0.2Bar more than recommended by BMW.
