Not sure on my aftermarket wheel / tyre pressures

Post by MarkX50 » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:00 pm

Sorry gents, another newby question. My car is a Hartge with the 22” classic 2 wheels from new. The current tyres are :

Front - 265/30/22
Rear - 295/25/22

Hard to find what tyres pressures should be so any suggestions would be appreciated... also, I am not a fan of such large wheels and thin tyres. You think I could add larger rubber, or maybe I’d be best going back to the OEM 4.4is 5 spokes. Any suggestions welcome!

Tyre pressures are normally stamped on the tyre wall...

Hi best trying local tyre centre they should have all of the specs for your car !
You can always drop down a few sizes 20" or 19" is your car an E53 ?
As the X6 alloys also fit with spigot rings on the fronts to centre the wheels . I have some for sale in the buy and sell section .

Yeah that have a max, but if rather go lower just not sure where to aim. Re: new tyres I’d like a set of 20” e53, either 5 or 7 spokes... so nice!

What width are the wheels. Those are quite narrow tyres for 22"

I’m not sure actually. They are the Hartge Classics which came on the car I am afraid.
