I am look for some advice on tyre pressures. The car is an E36 328i fitted with 17" wheels - 235's at the front and 245's at rear.

Any advice much appreciated as the handbook does not have a figure for wheels and tyres of this size.

Try looking inside the drivers door frame wink

2.2 bar front 2.4 bar rear seems Ok with mine, same size tyres and wheels.

Any reason on why its running 235 up front?

Should be 225 up front on 45's in order to get the correct ratio.

Thank you both for the advice. I only bought the car on Tuesday and it came with AC Schnitzer wheels and suspension. I may look for a set of standard E36 M3 wheels.
