    SQ5 255/50/19 Winter Tire Pressure

    Any recommendations on proper tire pressure for the SQ5 in 19" format?

    I don't feel like the 21" pressure is appropriate for a taller tire. The ride is pretty bouncy as is. Can we run the Q5 19" pressure around 30psi?

    I have that same tire size (Pirelli Scorpion Winters) and have been running at 35 psi. Ride quality and handling seem good.

    SQ5 255/50/19 Winter Tire Pressure

    The manual recommends 30 psi front-and-back for normal load and 33 psi front-and-back for full load on 235/55 R19. You're running a wider tire on the same diameter, so the general rule of thumb is you run a lower pressure than that. That's offset a bit by the fact that you're running a winter setup where you'll normally want to run a slightly higher pressure. Net effect I think is that right around 30 psi is probably the pressure to start at.
