Normal tire wear?
Just checking... is this cracking on the center of my tread in the front tires normal after 2000 miles of fun ?

Is it cosmetic or is this damage? What pressure range is recommended for spirited driving to avoid this? |

In the center I would treat it as cosmetic damage. Recommended pressure is 35 psi all around. You can see you tire pressure in the idrive menu under vehicle status.

Checked the tire pressure tonight while on a road trip at highway speeds. Found 37-39 psi pressures. Clearly this confirms the overpressure that was suspected?
I'll check it cool and take a few psi out. |

Over inflation would cause less tire roll? Looking at the OPs upper sidewalls and outer tread I would say they are under inflated? That is some pretty aggressive tire roll IMHO.

Couple of pics of mine. Pss after track day three 20 minutes sessions. And my brand new Re71r’s after autocross day of 6 runs at 55ish seconds each.

This is what I use and I'm very happy with it - https://www.amazon.com/Joes-Racing-3...dp/B00404WDUC/
Most gauges will be 0-100PSI so this 0-60 gives you more precision. |
