Hi Guys
Ater upgrading to 20" wheels , what pressures should be in the tyres ?
255 / 30 / 20 front
285 / 25 / 20 rear
The main reason for asking is that i am attending a "VMAX" track day at Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds
at the weekend, and the guys who regularly attend estimate top speed runs of approaching 170 mph
for the DMS 535d. I will also get chance to do some rolling comparisons with e46 M3's, TVr's, VW Golf R32, NSX's
as well as being killed by a kleeman sl600, slk55 amg,and a few RUF 911's.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
I enquired for calculated tyre pressures to Continental in Hannover for my 535d and below is the reply
vielen Dank f?r Ihre Anfrage. Als Reifenf?lldr?ck empfehlen wir;
Teillast: vorn 2,7 bar, hinten 2,9 bar
Volllast: Vorn 3,1 bar, hinten 3,5 bar
Mit freundlichen Gr??en

In psi terms this means
Partial load: front 39 rear 42
Full load : front 45 rear 50.5
Full load usually means 4 adults plus luggage, so you probably rarely use it, but it is also recommend to raise standard tyre pressures for high speed driving.
You could contact them yourself for a recommendation. I am sure they will speak english, too.
