Tyre pressures

[Ant]

Been playing about with my pressures on the '46 330CD

stock 18" MV2's with Bridgestone S03s staggered setup.

My car is very sensitive to pressures it seems, had to use a garage pump the other day for a lil top up, set to the OEM pressures as per normal, drove away with horrendous understeer and really pushing the fronts, not good !

Returned home and checked the pressures, they were 0.2 Bar over the unladen settings ! restored to normal using my compressor and all handling returned to normal.

anyone else experienced this ? I only ask because even though they were high , they were only midway between the unladen/laden settings

Perhaps the S03's are the issue, they'll be kojak in the next months so thinking some Dunlops next ?

try vredstein ultrac sessantas on the e46 they aren't silly money either.

the verdesteins have built up a good reputation especially with the M3 drivers

i'm on eagle F1 asymetrics, by far the best tyre around due to its wet weather grip.

i'm on 33psi front & rear, which is bit less than whats recommended but the car drives much better

going to try that Kos, cheers

I may up the rears to 35 as it is a wagon, but the bmw recommended of 42 just seems to high especially as I car bugger all in the back
