What pressure should I be running?

[Jog5000]

I have 17" rims, Khumo Ecsta MX tires, what pressure should I be running my tires at? Its a 1996 318is.

Thanks

it depends. what kind of weather conditions do you have? what driving style do you have? I usually run 35psi in the summer when it's dry, cause i' get better mpg. In the rainy winter i'll run between 30-32 psi for a little better grip.

this is the best answer, weather conditions predict the pressure you should run, as well as the type of tire your running , for example performance tires, winter tires etc.
summer time i run 34-36bs per tire and 32 in the winter.
