Did you find a sweet spot for tire pressure for the last longer tires?
I have original set up with original rims #124- 245/40 R18 and 275/35 R18.
Door label said 32 front and 37 rear. But during I was owning M3, I found that is couple psi over the door label safe tires better.

I believe that in general...a higher tire pressure will increase tread life. But it comes at the expense of a harsher ride.

I'm running 36psi all around with my 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 Hankook V12s.
