Greetings

I don't wish to sound stupid. However I was curious if someone would let me know what the tire pressure should be for run flats on a 2009 MCS not that the model or anything matters. I know just got a low tire warning on the car and I believe its the right front but wanted to check the pressure on all tires since I need air anyway. I hope thats all it needs is air.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

On the inside door jamb on the driver side, there's a panel that tells you the PSI for the OEM tires, also note the different PSI for different max speed.

Also the in-wheel sensors don't measure at a particular pressure, but monitor for any changes within a shorter period of time- if a tire looses pressure very slowly the TPM probably won't detect it. It's probably a good idea to work a tire pressure check into a routine of some sort.

Thank you for the suggestion. When the tire meter told me I had a low tire I decided I would go buy a tire pressure gauge, I should have already had one but couldn;t find it. So I checked the pressure on all the tires and noticed that all the tires were alittle low ranging from 31 to 32.5 however the one that registered low was at 28 so I plan on checking the pressure much more often . Thanks again for the suggestions and advice.



Its good to know other Mini lovers like pepsi also. BTW we have almost the same car Moreorless. I have a 09 MCS/BRG/CWP/PP
