Tires settings in idrive

CiprianS · 03-22-2025, 10:29 PM

How do you guys have your wheels (20s and 21s) set up in idrive? AiredaleDad , MiGs550e , nacs and the rest with 20s please help!

If I set the tire selection to Automatic, the following tires will appear, although I have 245s on the front and 275s on the rear, it shows only the rear size there.

If I select Manual, the following will appear. The dealer set them up today as Manual with Special Authorization, as it appears in the second picture below.

Of course, when I got there today my tire pressure was 41 on the front and 40 on the rear although the car has been sitting since yesterday instead of the 36 from the sticker for both front and rear.

Just setting ur rear Tyres. It knows the corresponding front size as long as u r going according to recommended OEM sizes.

My recommends the correct pressures and we have the same setup.

Mine does not recognize the recommended tire pressure from the sticker if I leave it on Automatic.

This was an interesting discussion on the topic from last year:

People seem to think that the rear tires are the only ones that matter in the setting.
