For peace of mind I'll want emergency gear in case I have a blowout. What specific mobility kit do you guys recommend?

Dude I just got mine installed today, WOAH, what a difference! I felt like I was in a different car, so smooth, I loved it. Best mod by far!

I have a Slime inflator ($22 on Amazon), and I got a DynaPlug kit in case I'm stranded and need to pull the nail out and plug.

The plug kit was about $53 also on Amazon. There is a cheaper one, but I got the pro.

Invest a little up front and feel much safer.

Looks like it has everything for emergency and at home, longer term repairs.

That might be a little too large to fit in the well under the trunk mat.....

It looks like the kit is 9X12.5X4.5 (Inches). How big is the storage area? The kit could be broken down and not use the case.

Does that fit under the cargo mat? It looks like it's 26" dia x 6" thick according to the link.

30 psi is low if you have an F30 Sport Line. On my F30 square set up I ran 35psi all around. At speeds faster than 80mph, 30psi will be extremely dangerous.

If you have PSS tires, not much possibility of you losing traction unless doing some hooliganism.

I check tires when they are cold, they were at 30f & 31 rear, then I went for a drive and it was over 35 degree celsius, then I checked it was 32f & 33 rear, so that means If i put them at 35 psi all around they would reach 38 min. isn't that too much for this tire ?

[cmonter3323]

what tires do you recommend for an F36 with 20x8.5 et 35 and 20x10 et 40?? what is a better fit? 235/245 in the front and for the rear 275/285?

Not too much. When performance tires heat up, they're expected to gain around 3-4 psi.

If you ever think you'll hit 100mph (trust, it happens without me knowing at times in no traffic ), those extra psi will increase control. However, for more grip, lower psi a pound or so, like when in the twisties.

Like I saidc, I'm at 34/35, so it's a compromise between the two. Not too soft, not too stiff. My 19' can take up to 38 psi, but that's for like drag straight driving at speeds above 130mph. No need for that, so I won't go above 35 psi.

I'm sure others will have other opinions.

That's pretty wide. Not sure a non ///M can take tires that wide. You don't want rubbing at all.

///M cars have wider body kits to accommodate wider tires. Those are going to kill your mpg also.

I just got my PSS installed yesterday. I checked, dealer put 32 PSI in front and 38 PSI in the back. Should I lower?

It's up to you. Do you have 18' or 19'?

I think 38 is high for the back, because that's stiff. Maybe a compromise would be 36psi. The front may be fine at 32 though.

19" Staggered. Yeah I find 38 to be high.

I had a friend measure under the trunk mat and he came back with 13x10x7 which should fit the Slime kit at 9X12.5X4.5

The downside, the compressor draws 15A which looks like it would overload the 12v sockets. Can anyone confirm the amperage of the sockets?

Just carry spare fuses too.

Does the compressor come with alligator clips that can be attached to the car battery?

It does, but that seams like a bit more hassle than it's worth.

Any advantage in cost for me to ask the dealer to change my RFTs when my lease car arrives for delivery? Or am I better off just doing it at a discount tire (or Costco)?

I wouldn't go to the dealer for anything other that the free maint.

Unless you have an "in", you'll get hammered on price. IMHO of course.

I'd think blowing on the valve stem would be a greater hassle...
