don't remember the values for a sedan but they are different... I was thinking the same but then maybe the weight distribution isn't quite 50/50??

Don't think they did but i got a tread gauge and in the middle of the tire they're 6 to 7 left and one of them is 4 to 5.

I would put the better tires on the back so you can actually take off.

Also, even if i gave them the baldest tires ever why would they decline to put them on? liability i may get into an accident and blame them?

I got the same crap from Merchants Tire when I dropped my van off on Monday for a rotation. I left it there and shipped two tires direct to them. They are installing them right now.

In a manual, it's like 50.7/49.3. Not enough to impact tire pressures imo

Not sure why most other peoples' say lower pressures. My sticker shows very high pressures...

I don't run stock sizing so I keep it at 35 all around.

2006 vert that came with RE040's

My 2005 330Ci, same values as BP and Shawn:

Just realized, those values found in the door stickers are max values for five people plus luggage (1,058 lbs), according to the owner's manual.
