Can you advise what the correct tyre pressures are for my BMW 530i when carrying a heavy load?
I am about to head off to the south of France with the family in our BMW 530i Sport Touring (2003) and have seen the tyre pressure on the door saying 2.8 bar front and 3.3 bar rear - assuming heavy load, which we will have with three children and roofbox. I run Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres all round and am worried that 40 and 47lbs is too great a pressure. I cannot find any information from Pirelli regarding recommended tire pressures. Can you please advise?

I have also tried to confirm via Pirelli, but cannot. In light of that would suggest that you contact your main BMW dealership and get them to double check.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.

Why is my new Honda Jazz EX CVT not remotely like the car you reviewed on your website? The ride in the back is atrocious.
I live in a country village and my nearest service station is about 15 minutes drive away. I find it almost impossible to check my tyre pressure when the tyres are cold (which is what I have been recommended)....
