Would like a bit of advice regarding tyre pressures on the Z4M Roadster.

Last time i did my tyre pressures i couldnt exactly remember what they were so i set it at 30-31 all round which was great, it made the rear a bit twitchy when accelerating from standstill but nothging major.

I checked them last night and adjusted them to the correct ones (2.3bar front, 2.5 bar rear) and it makes the car a lot more crashy and hard.

Has anyone else adopted different tyre pressures than the standard ones?

As long as you don't go too high or low, then it's down to personal preference.

Lower pressure may make the car feel 'softer' but it may also increase wear on the outers, whilst higher pressures may increase wear to the centre.

I've not used anything other than the recommended pressures in mine, but if you're doing any track work then you'd want to do a few laps and then check them.
