I always have an electric air compressor in my trunk...the kind that plugs into the cig lighter. Handy to have.

I checked after your post. Mine seemed to be low on air, but not flat.

On a separate note...has anyone tried the run flat tires? Seems all the BMWs in Korea come standard with them.

I have not, but I recall reading in the owners manual that only certain run flats could be used, and to check with the dealer. I'm not a fan of run flats, so I haven't researched further.

Very few are a fan of run flats. BMW seems to be a big proponent but I don't see them in Audi vehicles.

mother f**ckers! really? i think mine is deflated as well. Do they come that way from the factory? Can you just leave them as they are and fill them up while still in the area for the spare?

Fortunately for me mine was inflated, cause I needed it last week and have been driving on it while I await my repaired Rim and new tires.

You can check my previous post on installing the spare

I checked the pressure this morning and it was at 50psi. Does anyone know what it should be at?

50 psi is the correct pressure.
