Non Run Flat Tire Pressure

I replaced the run-flats on my 2023 E53 Coupe with Non Run-flat tires. Should they be inflated to the same pressure as the run-flats, i.e. 44 front/42 rear? I had them put on by the dealer and they inflated them (or not) to a mix of pressures. All within two or three lbs of each other. The tires were already mounted/balanced on aftermarket rims when I dropped the off at the dealer so they may not have bothered to check.

43 - 41
39 - 42

Are you running square or staggered ?

If you are running staggered, I may suggest 42 front / 44 rear

If you are running square, I may suggest 42 square

If you find those suggestion a bit harsh still, then consider lower it by 2 psi to see if you like the ride better.

I'm running staggered tires.

The pressures you quoted. 42 front / 44 rear, are the exact opposite of the factory recommendations for the standard run flats.

I assumed the non run flats should use a lower pressure. But that's just my assumption.

I'm not worried about the harshness of the ride. The non run flats took care of that regardless of the pressures.

following . . . I was always under the impression to run higher in the front but may have been wrong all along . . .
