There are twisty hill routes near me where you can scrub in tires in about 20 minutes if you drive hard and fast enough.

Release compound.

Yes but four wheel drifts are more fun!

Are you guys doing anything special to "break them in"?

Yes, they are really slick right now. My RFTs were broken in by almost 200 miles coming from the Performance Center, but these are indeed like skis for a little while. They'll also soften up a tad and develop their own driving character.

I love buying new, good tires!

I just installed 4 on my 328i M sport 2014, they work simply awesome, just wondering about the tyre pressure since the Pzero´s were Tun Flat, I don't know if the door label should apply yet.

What tire size diameter are you running? Not sure how that changes what PSI we should be at....

I'm running 20s and this seems to be ok.
35 PSI Front
38 PSI Rear

What is everyone else running?

rustyminded · 04-03-2015, 06:17 PM

Running 245/45 R17 square setup, they are great very gripy in corners less noise than prev. rft's 225/50 and great comfort but a little harsh on bumps and can't handle straight line acceleration even on map 0 !!!

I'm at 33 and 35 PSI right now, but will likely go to 35 and 37 in the winter. Not sure which is best either, so I'd like to hear also.

rustyminded · 04-03-2015, 08:54 PM

I need advice guys i run them at 30 psi all around to avoid traction issue but still, what should i do ??!!!

East River Guide · 04-03-2015, 10:40 PM

True story-- I had not had a flat tire in 29 years of driving. Bought a 335 and changed the RFTs to PSSs. The next day while driving home from work at night I hit a metal object in my lane on the interstate and blew out a rear tire. Fortunately thanks to this forum I had purchased a sealant/compressor kit and limped home. No regrets, but if you do switch make sure you have an emergency plan.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 04-04-2015, 08:43 AM

I believe the increased tire pressure in the rear is when the car is loaded to maximum cargo capacity. Track time proved to me that I want to run something near equal pressure all around with my staggered 18" set.

Similar situation here - it's been 19 years for me and when I have had a flat it's always been my right rear tire - go figure.

In any event, I went ahead and got the Mobility Kit AND the DynaPlug setup (OCD) for peace of mind when on longer trip. When my existing RFT's are due for replacement, I'll likely switch to the Michelin PSS tires.

I have an F32 M Sport Staggered 19', so the door instructions say 32/33psi. This morning I raised psi to 34/35.

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.

Keep in mind that our owner's manual has a list of recommended pressures for various wheel/tire sizes and maximum speed. These recommendations may/may not be in sync with your door jamb decal.

I have Nitto Invo's and they have terrible road noise so I cant wait to switch to MPSS. I'm hoping they help with my road noise.

Where are you seeing 32 for the front? I see 35/38.

I may put an extra pound in the rear, but going to go with 33 or 34 for the front and make the adjustments now.

No worries; happens bro.

Just make sure you go out and get those extra 3 pounds of air before getting on the freeway.

bobbydigital · 04-07-2015, 06:32 PM

When my 435GC (lease car) arrives, I'm likely going pull off the 19" RFTs and replace them immediately with PSS'. Then when it comes time to turn the car in, I'll slap the RFTs back on.

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

I just bought a Slime kit.

As much as I like OEM in some instances, the OEM mobility kits were $$$$.

murrays · 04-07-2015, 07:38 PM

My 335i is on order, but I plan on getting this kit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YMP1SA/...I2UIG86L4A3N2A

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