We recommend using the BMW tire pressuers-33f 41r.

While it may be necessary to use 45psi to mount the tires they do not need to be at the high pressure for balanceing.

If the vibration is caused by the bent wheels you may exprience un-even wear problems in the future. Even if you don't feel the vibration they wheel and tire is "bouncing" slightly. This applies uneven pressure to the tire and will cause the tread to "cup."(the tread will have a feathered feeling-good for hair back in the '70s but bad for tires) eventualy the cupping will cause more vibration and can make considerable noise.
