I have recently acquired a 2013 cooper S convertible from a main dealer. When it was handed over tyre pressure was 2.3 bar all round. Sticker on door says 2.7bar so shortly afterwards I inflated tyres to 2.7 bar all round. However, this made the car bounce around, tramline and be generally difficult to drive. It did not handle well and felt as if, well, the tyres were massively overinflated.
I have now reduced pressure back down to 2.3 bar and the car rides and handles just fine.
It is on Bridgestone Potenza 17 inch runflats.
What peressure should I run the tyres at and is there something wrong with the setup of the car if I cannot run pressure as indicated on the sticker by the door.
