I run a 225/55 Michelin on the BMW, and I wouldn't call it "low profile" by
any stretch of the imagination.

Well, maybe not as low a profile as a 315/35/17 Corvette tire:

Bill, it is time for a reality check here.

Isn't this a newsgroup for Jeeps? Isn't the discussion on tire pressures for
225 series tires that are commonly fitted on Jeeps? TJs to be specific.

To the Original Poster,
30 pounds is at the top end of the scale for air pressure in those tires. I
find that many guys like them at pretty much any pressure above 25psi.

If you get to an offroading situation, you can drop the pressure to about 15
pounds if you want, but if you do, then you must be aware of the obvious
speed limitations. Actually, you can go pretty much as fast as you want, you
just won't be able to steer with any degree of precision, and if you go too
fast and try to turn, you can roll the tire off of the rim. Of course, there
will be heat problems as well, so you want to keep the speeds down to about
25 or less. The point of lowering the air pressure is to make a more
comfortable ride, and to increase traction by making a larger footprint of
the tire. Also, the tire will fold over and around stuff and grip better,
instead of riding on top of it.

Yup, but you didn't seen to realize the tire pressure the Original
Poster needed was the same as on his door jamb:
http://www.----------.com/WJTirePressure.jpg Therefore needed a little
more pressure that what you recommended. Unless you want to take that
reasonability in the ligneous society.
