Tyre Pressures for 350i

[dukeenfield]

Hi,Can any body tell me what the tyres pressures are best set at and also when I reverse out of my garage and put steering on full lock,one of the wheels seems to want to drag a long instead of turning,has anybody else had this problem?.

Hi again Ken,
According to my handbook. The 350i should have 205/60 VR15 Goodyear NCT tyres fitted and they should be inflated to: 22lb/in2 Front and 24lb/in2 Rear.
My tyres are NCT3's and are inflated according to the manual and have always been fine, however I have never messed about to try anything different.
As for the wheel dragging? Reminds me of a joke about a dog called "Woodbine"
Incidently went out for a blast on Sunday with the new suspension.
All the best Simon.

Is the tyre touching the arch or back edge of front spoiler - several previous reports on this forum.
You can usually see witness marks if you look - also check inner arch.

I have always run mine on 20f/22r, maybe the 22/24 setting is for high-speed touring?

I currently run 205 SO3's.

The 22/24 is the standard setting, 24/26 for high speed use. 22/24 is the usual Pistonheads fudge to try to account for the SO3PP tyre walls being so stiff.

I went for a blast in the 350i yesterday to warm her heart and stretch her legs and checked my tyres.

I have 205/55/15 SO2PP's on the front at 24psi, and 205/60/15 RE71's on thr rear at 26psi. Maybe I should let the rears down a bit, though once there's a full tank of LPG in there I'll probably have to pump them up again.

Thanks for help and will set tyre pressure to what you said and check if wheels are rubbing on full lock,thanks Ken.
