What PSI are you running & do you have the 20" rims? Thanks!

Right now from BMW, they just put on the DWS for me and they are put in
F:34psi R: 37psi Just looking for some input on people who have put on the Continental DWS on the 20" staggered setup.

Thanks in advance!

I am running 35psi all round and find this to be perfect. Comfort, handling and tire wear.

20" Bridgestone Duler RFT all the way

With the 20" Conti DWS's they have 34 psi now in the front, I guess maybe I'm used to the RFT's because the sidewalls feel like its so easy and soft to push in. If I had to do over again (which I will after these run out) I may consider the Bridgestone Duelers for sure.

Indeed.

DWS. 275/40/20 and 315/35/20

Surprisingly the placard on the door jamb advises 29 psi all round which seemed rather strange to me!

yeah that's really strange! I read a post that in the USA BMW issued a recall on wrong door jam stickers.

I have two questions.

I'm thinking of getting Conti DWS and I see the size info above as being 275/40/20 and 315/35/20. According to Tirerack.com, there's a warning message at the top of the page which states that there's an issue about the size. (The 2nd sentence is what I'm referring to but I copied and pasted the whole message). I'm assuming that everyone here who have changed their tires, didn't have to buy new wheels first?

Front: XL/RF tires required if 275/40-20 is used on rear axle Customer must maintain higher tire pressure levels of 42psi for proper load. This size will not fit the O.E. 11" rear wheel. Narrower aftermarket wheels will be required to run this size front/rear.

I don't want to buy narrower aftermarket wheels. I'd like to keep the same size wheels but switch to Conti DWS and sell the OE tires to someone who wants the OE tires that came on the vehicle. I only have about 800 miles on my car so far so the tires are still pretty much brand new. I just like the DWS better based on all the reviews no matter which vehicle they're put on.
