help me to read the side car sticker for psi

hi i have a 2014 428i, just bought new Run Flat tires, but I see the sticker and for me is a little confusing my tires are 225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear, from what I understand the sticker if 2 people 2.2 bar front and rear, but if 4 people 2.6 front and 2.7 bar rear?


thanks in advanced!

Correct, and you're only allowed females in the passenger seat, no dudes.

Here in Canada, the door sticker and manual only gives the pressure for a fully loaded car with max passengers and luggage.

I don’t see pressures for 19” tires on that sticker. Only for 17s (unstaggered, summer & winter), 18s (unstaggered, winter), and 20s (staggered, summer).

I’d try to match the listed 20” staggered tire pressures, as they’re closest to what you have (staggered 19s with those widths).

So 2.4 F & 2.6 R with 2 passengers, and 2.7 F & 3.2 R fully loaded.

My $0.02...

Yes, that’s what I gathered from that sticker as well.

2.2 bar = 31.91 psi
2.6 bar = 37.71 psi
2.7 bar = 39.16 psi
