Title say it all lol..

I have 2004 525i with no TPMS but only FTM..

1) When Costo Tire Center installs my new OEM M5 rims M166 with Michelin A/S all season tires...what do I need to tell them to do? cuz i am upgrading 16' to 19' so i am scare...do I need to tell them to test anything? Speed Force Road Test with the Right Tire pressure?

2) What is the PSI should be in each OEM M5 Front and Rear Tires?

3) should I get NITROGEN air? or regular air?


Thanks Guys for all your input!!

I got OEM M166 Mint Condition for $850 pick-up! i am amazed...i have been looking for it under $900 forever and it is Mint Condition....thank you E60 for all your helps and effort.

If the rims are straight, no bent/crack, then regular balancing should do the job. OEMs are better than Reps.

The PSI should be provided by and printed on the Michelins.

If the nitrogen is free then take it. I wouldn't pay extra for it. There are many discussions in here about the Pros and Cons of the nitrogen.

$850 for the M166 is an awesome deal. Great find!

Thanks Xman...regarding the PSI...do I get Factory Recommended PSI on my 16' tires? OR Michelin recommended PSI?

Good Deal. That's quite a step up. I forgot exactly what the ridiculous sum that my my dealer wanted for nitro fill was but it was def over 100$ :thumbsdown: WTF
