My mom has a 530 and I noticed something strange in the manual (and the door jam) regarding tire inflation pressures. Outside US/CDN: 4 people: 29F/33R 5 people + luggage: 33F/41R US/CDN: 33F/41R Why would BMW specify the same tire pressure regardless of load if you're in the US or Canada? Obviously, their outside North America specs make more sense: higher pressure for more weight. The only explanation I can think of is liability in the US, and for some reason they deem higher pressures safer. Any thoughts?
