Tire Pressure - Engine Oil
I am still on my honeymoon and deeply in love - with my BMW of course
- 2 weeks old. I have a 96 318ti - sport package with the 16 inch
sport wheels and 245 50 ZR 16 Pirelli P6000. I am running them at 33
lbs front and rear. I do mountain driving and "2 lane spirited
driving" - no track or autocross. What would you folks recommend for
the optimum inflation pressure. I am gravitationally challenged (fat)
and notice tire roll on really sharp, fast right hand turns with the
33 settings. I would say it's perfect for left turns. Any advice??
Also any word on a brand of oil to use. I live where it's recommended
to use 15-40. What brand and viscosity is in the engine out of the
factory??
I truly apologize for these basic questions, but I would really
appreciate any help you could send my way. I want to take care of my
mistress and plan to grow old together with her.
