Should i change the tyre pressure when changing from RFTs
Discussion
Quick question, I've removed the bridgstone RFT's and replaced them with michellin pilot super sports the grip is notably better but doing an overtake the rear didn't feel as solid as it used to, like a wobble (struggling to explain it)
So do i need to increase the pressure over what is standard for the RTS?

The inflation pressure should stay the same as that is what is required to carry the load as set by BMW. What has changed for you are the dynamic properties of the tyre.
Outside of losing the bead reinforcement (which gives you much less deflection of the sidewall) you also have brand new tyres fitted with a full complement of tread depth so you'll also experience block movement for the first ~1000 or so miles until they start to wear in conjunction with the geometry of your car.
