Default Proper Air Pressure

I have a '12 S with 21" All Season Continetial Tires DW06?


What setting should I use in the dash controls for TPMS?


20" All Season
21" Summer tires


My dealer keeps setting them to 20" All Season with pressures of 38 front 43 Rear.


I think the 21" Summer Tires is 35 front 39 rear.


Which setting is correct for the 21" All Season?


I plan to ask my dealer at some point wanted to know what others are doing.


Thanks,


Mike

I would use the 21" settings. Those are slightly softer settings probably because of the less compliant sidewall of the lower profile 21" tire.

I could be wrong, but I thought the dash setting for the tire OD change. The door jamb sticker is the most reliable source of correct tire pressure for any street car.

21". The setting may also vary for full or partial load.

In my neck of the woods, potholes that can swallow a micro-car, are a year-long affair. For this reason, I bump up the pressure by two pounds on all four.
