Tire pressure 2001 740iL

[rr080880]

Question on tire pressure. I have a 2001 740iL with 102,000 miles. The front tires are Continental Cross Contact 235/50R18 97V and the rear tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ 255/45ZR18 99Y. The sticker on the door states the fronts should be 32 psi with maximum load and 29 psi for lower load and the rear should be 39psi with maximum load and 35 psi with lower load. I have fronts at 30 psi and rear at 34 psi. The front tires look low. Comments/suggestions?

The 235/50/18 tire size always looks bulged on the front of the e38 - it's totally normal. Tires don't actually start looking low until they have basically no pressure in them. You don't pump it up 5 psi and see any difference.

Your pressures are fine as long as the tires are wearing evenly across the thread.

Thanks for your comment. I will continue with them as they are.
