New Member Tire Pressure Advice

Hi all,
I just purchased a new 2023 M850i and am looking forwarded to learning from you all and contributing once I have some experience.

For now I'm hoping to get some tire pressure advice:
I'm putting on Michelin all seasons go flats and wondering about correct tire pressures.

The manual recommends 36 psi front and 41 psi back. However, these pressures are for a fully loaded vehicle with --I'm assuming--run flats.

I'm tempted to go 35 or 36 all around and would really appreciate any advice/experience you can share.

Thanks!

Congrats. I ran 40 psi on my 540i for 2 years without issues.

I’ll going the same on my M8 though I’ve only had it for a month.
