Correct tyre pressure
Hi all
Next week I will be running my car near the MAM. I have checked the sticker and it is saying 60psi for the tyres.
Should I still pump to this even though I am running 275/45/r21. I cant find a max psi on the sidewall05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

60psi? Wow!
I run 19's Front 35PSI, rear 40PSI
on the door it says 33PSI front, rear 42PSI (seems to be for towing)

60 sounds way too high.
I’m not sure about a D3, but my 19” setup on my D4 says I think 36/42 fully loaded. It has the different scenarios on a sticker on the inside of the drivers door. If not, check the maunal.

The pressure you are looking at is for the spare/space saver tyre, denotes by the letter 'T' before the width....
"The letter T before a tyre code means that the tyre was only designed as a temporary spare and that it should only be used until a flat tyre can be replaced or fixed."
Do NOT run your tyres at 60psi normally!
Hope this helps!
