33 psi think they would come off the rims!
Door sticker says 38F 42R RFT 18inch , but non RFT you become a test Pilot.
Got to order some rears now, got a slow puncture, the warning trigger at 38 when checked. Was reset to 42.

I can't believe I went to the garage to confirm this. Cayman is 33 all round.
Zed is 32 rear and just 30 at the front.

They are worn evenly, and the front shows some wear on the outside edge, but its hardly an issue and a recent alignment may have corrected that....

Thanks Rick that is helpful for my problem . Seems like you are doing very well especially with that much tracking. I may try the pilots as well.

It's surprising people don't follow what it says on the stickers on their E89s.

It's surprising that the Z4 E89 pressures are much higher.

Weight cant have anything to do with it.
My X6 runs lower pressures than the Z4.
Unloaded the sticker on the X6 says 2.0 bar front and 2.2 bar rear
The Z4 is 2.5 bar front and 3.0 bar rear.
I have just removed the rear tyres from our Z, GoodYears, and they have been run at the recommended pressures on the door jamb sticker for their whole lifespan. The tread wear was even right across the tread and lasted around 25,000 miles.

Not really, even when the camber is within spec it'll still wear on the inside edge first.

My tyres haven't worn on any edge, just slightly more on the rear centres.
So based on that thought i would go slightly lower pressure on rears down from 42 to say 40.
