This may give you everyhting that you need.

I'm no where near a moderator as I'm quite new here myself but I know that it's good practice to try and search for your question before you post one - saves on webspace I guess, plus aload of other admin.

Good luck.

45 psi in 17's mate you'll be off the road round the first fast corner you take :eek

It doesn't matter on the size of the wheel, the air is measured by the pressure inside/on the tyre wall so it doesn't matter if its a 13" or 19" wheel, the pressure will be the same :thumbsup The max PSI rating on tyres is the maximum amount you can put in, but then again a country lane may have a speed of 60mph but are you really gonna go to the max?

Stick with the ratings on the door sticker or just put in 32 all round to be safe :thumbsup

 

As above 32-33psi/2.3bar. 45psi is waaaayyyy too much, as well as being unsafe it will cause your tyres to wear in the middle.

 

30psi-F 32psi-R 225/45-17. Thats according to the BMW sticker in the drivers side door shut on my 318is coupe...:thumbsup

 

The handbook for my 318is says 28psi on the front and 32psi at the back. I'm running the standard 15" wheels. Cant really go wrong with 30psi all round if your in doubt.
