Hi sifus,

a noob question here..hehe hope u all dun mind

my car is a e39 525i, with 16 inch e60 stock rim. using falken 16/50/225 tyres. i usually pump 29psi on my tyre. may i check what is the recommended pressure for my tyres ?

thanks!

1st of all, i think ur tyre sizing may not be the correct 1. For E39 16", it should be 225/55 16.

I would advice pump 30psi/31psi. Not very bumpy.

@david

i will try that. thanks.

@astro

i have checked my B-pillar but dun quite understand it. it shows 4 -5 person and 24-25 bar.. what does bar means ? PSI ?

 

[astroboy]

1 psi = 6.895 kPa

2.4 bar = 240 kpa = 35 psi
2.5 bar = 250 kpa = 36 psi

1 bar = A unit of pressure equal to one million (106) dynes per square centimeter = 100 kilopascals

that is a lot of pressure compare to what ppl recommend...
usually ppl recommend 29-32 psi...

may i know how much u put on ur ride ?
