Low Profile Tire Pressure

…@ 32 psi To convert alpha numeric tires to P-metric sized tires, it is important to identify the original tire's aspect ratio. The 78-series alpha numeric tires should be replaced with today's 80-, or 75-series tires. If the vehicle was equipped with the low profile 70-, 60- or 50-series sizes, the…

…taller tires of the past, today's low profile tires fitted to the BMWs demonstrated how difficult it has become. The drivers agreed that the tire appearance alone did not provide irrefutable confirmation of the tire pressure contained inside. You can't use your eyes as a tire pressure gauge. Can…

…increase tire pressures 6-8 psi from what you would normally run in dry conditions. Hydroplaning occurs when a wedge of water develops between the tire and road surface. This wedge can actually lift the tire off the road and eliminate traction. Increasing the pressure rounds the profile of the tire…

…a difference in driving when one tire has no air pressure. Early run-flat tire designs had a tenancy to ride more harshly due to the stiffer sidewalls needed to maintain performance and safety while being driven on at low or no tire pressure. This gave run-flat tires a negative reputation among many…

…a flat tire is always inconvenient, but it can be especially distressing in situations with poor weather, when a tire fails on a high traffic highway or in an unsafe area. It's easy to imagine multiple situations where having a tire that can still be driven 50 miles after air pressure loss would…
