Just switched to my winter setup to Dunlops M3 225/50-17 on 17" wheels
Ride seemes to be a little bouncy and car handles I would say like Camry.
That is why I was wondering what should tire presure be? I didn't even check it when I switched the wheels just put them on how they came from TireRack.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I remounted my one-season old 235 45 17s snows from my old 540, and new wheels, and used the owner manual recommendation for sport 17" wheels. That is, 29F and 35 R which not only seemed like a large spread, but fairly low-pressure, to me. But, 500 miles later, they are fine and MUCH more comfortable than the Dunlop RFs; and handling is better than usual snowtire "acceptable" (Semperit).
