What tire pressure you running?
I did a search on here, with no results, and on google and got many different answers....it's seriously not funny. I own a '13 Coupe with the sport package option. I have the 7 spoke 18" AMG wheels, which from what I have found, fronts are 18x8 and rears are 18x8.5. Tires are 225 40s and 255 35s. The sticker in my fuel door says 30lbs front and back. I find this to be low. The sicker in the door jam says higher amounts, but at max loads. I tried the 30/30 and the car feels sloppy and squirly at highway speeds. Not good. Gonna try 33F & 35R, like I had in my BMW 328i coupe W/same size wheels and tires and see. Any chime ins would be greatly appreciated!
Grazie!

Thanks! I adjusted pressure and not a whole lot better. I am thinking this is gonna be suspension issues and not the tires. Body roll feeling too much. probably bushings and such. I recently purchased the car and have a good extended warranty. Time for the dealer to take a look I think!

I have the 17" 5 spokes and my tire recommended tire pressures are 33 up front and 42 rear.
This is with the stock 245/40 on the back. With my rear set to the 33psi recommended for the front the side wall was warping a bit right in front of the contact patch.
I'd imagine that your rear tires would need less than 42psi having shorter sidewalls. 38-40 I'd think would do well.

Here is a pic of my tire pressure sticker on the fuel door. The 30/30 is for normal load, which I figure just me or me and my wife would fall under. The 32/41 is for max load, which I take as 4 passengers and a full trunk. Anyway, I am sure I am having issues with some suspension bushings. What I am feelin is not my tires. I have new rear tires and fronts are worn but not dead. I am feeling a lot of side to side slop. It will get addressed though!
