What psi for Conti DWS06's?

I have a 2015 X5 XDrive35i with M sports package (if that makes any difference) and wanted to know what you guys inflate your Continentals to? I have the 20" staggered setup. After a visit to the dealer, they inflated to ~35ish psi all the way around. On a separate visit to a Discount Tire, they did 35ish in the front, and 47ish or so in the rears? Inconsistencies here.

What is normal and what do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Snes

Dush posted the pages from the BMW manual in post 4 of this thread:

Or just check your printed manual. There are a bunch of different wheel/tire/vehicle/speed combinations shown so be sure you pick the right setup for your Situation.

Just look at the sticker in the driver door frame, tells you recommended PSI. My 2017 m sport is 36 front 41 rear for the 20” staggered wheels.

You may want to increase the rear a few PSI if you notice any flat spotting. Wider wheels are more prone to flat spotting especially with non-RFT tires like yours. I have my rear at 43PSI and I am running the Michelin N-spec non-RFT tires.

P.S. my dealer always sets the tires at 35 PSI during service. Ticks me off every time and I even said something to my SA one time that they weren’t even inflating to recommended pressures.

My door sticker says 35 psi front and 39 psi rear cold tires. There are other pressures in the manual for heavy load, driving over 100 mph, etc.
