What are you guys running?

Door jamb suggests 38 front and 42 rear. Isn't that ratio weird for a front engine, AWD car?

Changes with the temps but this is what I'm at today.

BMW typically recommends higher rear pressures to achieve desired handling characteristics in how the car oversteers. Always a balance between sportiness/“fun” and safety.

After switching my tire type to AS/Winter, now its calling for 39 front and rear. For reference I ordered 225/255 Performance non RFT.
