you risk damaging the wheel with lower pressure if you hit something.

Today I received the complete and updated pressure indications from BMW. As you'll see the update is dated 11th May with the 255-35-18 M+S as a winter rear alternative.

Interesting. Approximately 30 33 psi f/r. Tried driving like that for awhile. Tires felt soft with lots of traction. Dealer said 35/35. Probably wrong. I think I will use the lower pressure in snow and a little higher when it is dry.

You're better off reading the engineering specs on the TIRE rather than relying on BMW to give you their specs.

Also for track driving, you should target and monitor warm temps rather than cold.

Time to revive this thread. The M2C felt way too jolty for city driving at recommended pressures of 35 or 36. 33-34 feels just right specially when hot summer days add another 2-3psi when driving. What's the general opinion on best pressure for city vs track?
